Posting for Stella who isn't a paid member now.

Never lived in Spain.

Ah, Stella writes brilliant Poetry she was in the writing group and is well published now.

Bridget I have not heard of for ages Magpie, yes she lives abroad, Spain is probably right. She, I don't think, actually wrote poetry but she had a long running thread of recipes and there were possibly poems on it as well. I wonder where she is now, I think there was a chance that she would come back to UK to live..

Sorry, I don't recognise Stella A as being on here, but I'm almost sure the poetry lady' I'm thinking of was called Bridget! I could well be thinking about somebody else of course! Whoever they were, they're not here now which is a great pity :-(

Perhaps it was just a holiday home or someone else, it's a shame though not to have that thread anymore!

Stella, I don’t think she lived in Spain though.

I agree Magpie, very few are interested in poetry.
Wish I could remember her name.

Bunnyboo Report 7 Oct 2018 18:02

Oh I remember her I think she lived in Spain! I did miss her when she went as I love poetry, but I believe that in the end very few people were interested, so she stopped bothering.
The forum generally was much more interesting years ago as there were many more people posting in those days which gave a much wider sphere of interesting conversation. There are a lot of chat forums nowadays that are free as well as free genealogy ones, so that's perhaps where people are going, understandably!

I've forgotten her name but the lady who wrote
poetry and had it published, if I rember she had
an operation on her hand.

I don't come on here very often these days but a lot of the old names are very familiar. I did meet Gaynor, Pink, Donna and many others in London when we did a charity thing for Gaynor and made her a Princess for a day not many weeks before she died. I also met Anne from Cheltenham and Jude at Webbs of Wychbold in Droitwich. I also remember Dawnie and her 3 fairies etc, Many years ago now. I joined GR on it's 3rd day and have been a member ever since. :-)

Rambling rose I see on Facebook she has been on and off GR over the past few years. She was having eye problems so didn’t renew to save eye strain.

How about our lovely Caz in Yorkshire and Deanna in Corby, I miss them both, as well our Dutch. I was lucky enough to meet all of them, and Wendy in Sussex too.

I miss Dutch. Always had a laugh and a good chat on the phone and boards.

And what about the young man, Daniel, who wrote books?
