Yesterday - Sunday - we managed to get to Grenoside, this time very easily by motor home. A bit tricky in the village itself - getting stuck in a dead end - but eventually we found the community centre and plenty of parking.
We felt we might just as easily be in Dubbo, at the Seniors Expo! It had the same feeling. The community centre was very similar to our centres and lots of interesting seniors to talk to. The Grenoside Family History Group is a VERY well organised group, and obviously full of energetic people (just like Parramatta Computer Pals for Seniors) who contributed a lot of work to making the exhibition a success. Lots of pre-computer displays on boards - very well researched - but also people who ran a website and helped out with email queries.
Grenoside itself is situated so close to Sheffield city but surprisingly is still a village. Like Penistone, our nearest town, the commercial operators like Sainsburys haven't got there yet. Just one little corner store and a few pubs. Have a look at our gallery of photos.
Today - a bank holiday - is wild and windy so we are having a lazy day.
John might add to this blog, but this is all for now. Thanks for the comments folks. Keep them up.
