Hi Moira! I was beginning to think that I was the only Gransnetter from South London. Really pleased to find that I am not alone grin

Currently living out of a suitcase. Lived in Fife for 36 years. House sold and looking, without much luck, for a home in South Devon or North Wiltshire near DDs.

Wave a large flag f77ms so I can see you , I live in Hazel Grove.
For anyone not familiar 3 miles from Stockport.

kittylester Fri 11-Aug-17 09:15:10

My aunt and uncle lived in Hazel Grove when they first got married in 1957, Ann, and two of my cousins were christened in a large, forbidding (but not old!) church there. One of those cousins is 58 today!! Of course, she is considerably older than I!!!!! blush And, that really cute bridesmaid on her parents' wedding photos couldn't possibly be me!!

A third West Londoner here, exiled from the seaside where I would rather be.

bikergran Do you mean you actually managed to remember it. Well done. I have some memories of that. Obviously not "virtally" enjoying myself quite enough. (wink)
