Surely I'm not the only one here.

Where have all the grandads gone? Has the shed been demolished? Is there a grandadnet somewhere else ? I'm sure there must be a perfectly good explanation that predates my arrival on GN .Can anyone let. me in to the secret??

Where are you Gramps?

Some time ago I read a wise post by a grandad called Gramps I have been looking for him to read more posts but he isn't even in the shed eating cake.

Soutra that's senna as in pods. Active constituent in a lot of laxatives. Vicious stuff!

Hi Nonu nice to see you this morning hoping you are feeling better,I have to say I have been very lucky this year and not caught any bugs at all,but I have banned anyone from calling if they have the slightest sniffle. grin

As far as I know, no picture of me as the fat lady survives. Perhaps it was fear of this type of casting that prompted me to grow a beard.

Soutra Can't manage high heels but I have a picture of me dressed as the Sugar-Plum Fairy somewhere.. If there is sufficient demand I might be able to find it smile
