    I just come to think of that Rosa that used to post ages ago / lot of pictures of her balcony full of plants/flowers and she did like paintings and she used to tell a lot about her private life that I enjoyed much reading...is anybody in touch with her and is she allright?

      I remember Rosa. She made some good posts, very artistic and very all-round-likeable. There are a few from that era that seem to have wandered off unfortunately.

        I think Linda (Rosa) moved from her flat (and her lovely balcony) and unfortunately left GC.

        A lot of folk remember her artistic talent, although there are others on here too.

          I am aware that she is of the ICE AGE era, as far as her more recent posts are concerned but send her a hug from me (oh I am so sentimental today...)!

              I occasionally hear from her, she has moved a couple of times but always says she hopes to get back on here at some point too. She was a great person to have on here with her beautiful balcony. She put sooo much work into it. I really miss her here.

                  I am in touch with Rosa by letter and have spoken to her on the phone as well:smile:

                  She often talks about GC and her friendships with the members on here.If anyone would like her new address,then please feel free to PM me and i will send you her address.There is also a phone number,but not sure if the landline is still working as this was in November time when i rang her and as she is on her own not sure if she uses that or her mobile as I tried quiet a few times to ring her mobile but it was always switched off and i think it might be because it is expensive for her to ring numbers from it.When folk are on their own it can get quiet expensive to use phones:smile:

                    I was in touch with her until she moved the 2nd time.. She is a lovely person & it a shame she hasn't got back on here, but hopefully she will soon perhaps.... :SUNsmile:
