GrandMa replacement....

[lizzylemon]

When my beloved GrandMa died a couple of years back one of the (many) things I missed was being able to ring up and ask her questions if I wanted to ask advice on all manor of things but today I found her replacement... you guys!!!

Thanks everyone!

Hope you're all safe and warm.

[Nicos]

Weeeeelllll..... I'm certainly safe..certainly not warm( see other threads!!:rolleyes)...and now you've made me feel really old!!

...and a Merry Xmas to you chuck!!!!


( only jesting!!!!....'tis a grand bunch of Grape here eh?????)

[lizzylemon]

Ah'tis in fact a great honor I have bestowed on you all, you just don't know it yet!

Not warm?

Seems to be a common theme for us grapes - I hope it's only a temp thing. (which thread?)

[Nicos]

(which thread?)

No idea!!..tis the one saying we're snowed in and got 2 jerry cans of oil to last until Monday 9 if the snow has cleared by then!!!)

Oh the joys of rural life!!!

( don't fret- we do have a woodburner, but that heats only one room!..Think we may be in for a romantically cosey Xmas !!!
)

[kirsty b]

Romantic and cosy is good fun. Allegedly

[ginger ninger]

O Izzy that is so nice, I'd call that a honer to be in such company as your beloved Grandma.

[rustylady]

Aah Lizzy, I am honoured. Mind you, I think I'm old enough to be grandma to lots of the Grapes.

[Jeanied]

Me too ^^^ just as rustylady says, Lizzy It is so lovely to be an honorary granny (having skipped the motherhood bit entirely!!)
One of the best things about the vine is that it crosses a few generations! Makes you think differently about folk you meet - I tend to think 'I wonder if they ever go on the vine too?' - highly unlikely, I know, but I think the vine has made me much less of a recluse and more willing to chat to people.

Here is the only place I can chat about gardening, the most my neighbours do is to cut their grass.

[HayleyB]

Got a few years to go before I'm a granny, but sweet sentiments Lizzy, I do love this place...

[RedThorn]

know it's panto season and all...but honestly! Aww hugs anyway!

[Glutton4...]

Awwwww fanks!

[Flummery]

Well, some of us ARE grans so one more grand-daughter's always welcome!

[jackie j]

I may be a Grannie but not that old. A big sister maybe lol

[HeyWayne]

Do I have to wear Nora Batty style surgical stockings too?
