Hi Marianne - I have been searching through the listings for friends - I would love you to add me to your friends list.

Hi Grannystitcher - I am living in Auckland but considering a move to Christchurch - sounds like I shouldn't have too much trouble making some friends down there when I come.

To you both - this is a new experience for me.

As Grannystitcher says, we do need to hear from Grownups here in Christchurch. The more the merrier.

Do you find it hard to move out of your comfort zone? Hugging the heater through our long cold winter can turn us into hermits. I mean, I had to cover my one and only tomato plant last night as a frost was expected according to Jim.
The two meetings I have attended were an effort, and it was wet and miserable to boot. Hey! I made it though and it gave me a much needed boost to venture out. Meeting reine and grannystitcher is a turning point for this Great Gran. They are just so friendly and I felt very welcome.

So there you go! Make the effort and contact one of us, it will be fun, and as the ad says, " Because wer'e worth it " lollol

hi all you cantabrians out there, if you want a smile, a laugh and lots of fun then you will be coming to the right place.
strangers are friend you haven't met yet, so think of all the friends you could have.
they say laughter is the best medicene, and there's plenty of that here.lollollol

I am so sorry all out there. I cannot get photos on. To all those who were here, we had a lovely time. To those who were not here, you missed out on a lovely cheery time.lollollol
For those who want to come, we are together every wednesday at 10-30.
Be brave, bring yourself and have a great time.
you never know what you missed out on otherwise. a stranger is a friend you have never met, think of all those friends you have out there.biggrinbiggrin
