MSE Rose .. but you know that..
It can be a bit harsh at times but when the chips are down there is nowhere better to find people who are willing to help you.

RR have you thought about contacting the local AgeConcern they may be able to recommend something more local and not just for OAPs.

Another good source is the local Library or History Archives where there may be notice boards for local groups which may also have websites.

Worth a try.

Sorry got waylaid there lol, thanks for all suggestions

Mau she is 76, I've found quite a good Wirral one that might be interesting to her, it will take a bit of persuasion I think to get her to do this.

Thanks Rose not soo old then ...in my eyes :-) and I'm sure she'll be fine on a site where perhaps there'll be images that will appeal to her and places she most likely will recall :-D

Good luck to your friend once she gets started there'll be no stopping! lol xx

I am 76, and I enjoy chatting on here and on FB. I also have put a lot of photos on blogspots, but you need to get her photos on her computer first. If somebody has a scanner and can scan some for her, onto a DVD or memory stick, so she can put them on a computer if she gets one, then she can share them if she finds a website that interests her. She might need help though to understand how to use the computer. Some elderly people (did I say elderly? I'm not elderly!) have trouble understanding computers. I am lucky I am reasonably technical-minded.

Huia.
