Hello and welcome

Welcome Serena.

Hello, Serena. GN is a great source of information about all sorts of things. Have fun!

Hello!
I like this because, when my mind goes into free fall and suddenly something from way back occurs to me, there's usually someone here who knows exactly what I'm talking about.

Hi! Thanks everyone for your warm welcome! by the way, i have this friend who is a proud grandma too who will be celebrating her birthday soon! Need your help grannies! Will she love this gift that i intend to give her? I need your honest opinion as she is a granny like us!Thanks

Hello serenaowens and welcome

I like your OP, now I feel like we're sailing on the high seas with a strawberry daquiri in my hand (actually I am having a ginger beer!)!

hi guys! I a bit bored not seeing my grandkids! What hobby can you suggest for me? Thanks

Welcome to GN serena!

It's difficult to suggest a hobby to someone we don't know. Maybe you could tell us a bit about yourself and things you like. e.g. singing - then join a choir, or craft work - join a craft group, walking- join a ramblers group. I suppose I am saying that the best thing to do is go and join something with like-minded people.

It is important to keep your life interesting and not just focused on grandkids - even though they are probably the light of your life!

Hope that helps a bit!

Welcome serena. Enjoy!

Google your local U3A-there's bound to be something you would like. £8 a year and £1 a session with fellow enthusiasts whatever your interest!

U3A cost do vary - I belong to three, annual charges vary between £8 and £20, and individual groups can be between zero and £20ish per quarter. The cost of individual groups depends on where they meet, a home or a hall (which has to be paid for). Regardless, the costs are quite low and very worthwhile.
I prefer to keep the groups i run small so that we can meet in homes and not have any extra costs, it is also more friendly with a small group.
