Say Hello To Savista Magazine
Here at virtualgranny we are always on the look- out for other websites that might be of interest to our fab and funky virtual grandparents,
We love to give our visitors a nudge in the direction of other websites like our own, that don’t patronise people over the age of 50 and don’t give the impression that we are all in our dotage and need direction on how to knit a new pattern or when to plant primroses or pansies.
So we are really thrilled to give you the low down on Savista – an online magazine that is launching on 1st September, aimed at everyone aged 50 and over.
Granny Hone Those Curves, The Femme Fatale Is Back In Fashion
A big round of applause to TV series Mad Men and character Joan Holloway, the sexy sixties siren played by Christina Hendricks, who has had us all glued to our sets and not just for the steamy storylines. It’s the figure hugging frocks, worn by the female stars of the show that are attracting just as much attention.

virtualgranny’s education expert Denise Howe was so annoyed by recent negative press about good old M&S that she’s put pen to paper (in old money!) and is fighting back on behalf of her fave shop. She’s also given us some glam photos to prove her point. So we agree with her. It’s time for the fashion set to stop bashing one of our best high street shops. As far as Denise is concerned they go right to the top of her class!

Its rapidly coming up to THAT time of year again – one week to the long summer break – and while that is a joy for some parents and families, for many it is a juggling act that can be very expensive; which is where grandparents are welcomed with open arms and take over the care and entertainment of youngsters for part of the hols, if not all.

Baby Boomers, Look Forward To The Care Homes Of the Future
Put my name down now!
The word is out that Baby Boomers and those of us hot on their heels are not going to be happy to settle for the bedsit style of accommodation currently on offer in care homes, when we are ready to hang up our own door keys.
The Abbeyfield Society has been carefully listening to all those ageing 1960’s upstarts and have come up with a stunning new development in Girton Cambridgeshire due to be completed in Spring 2012, offering residents comforts more typical in 5 star hotels.

Google Picassa that is, which is a completely free download from Google that lets you organise, edit and share your photos.

» Read MoreStep In To My (DUO) Shoes
No one could accuse me of having big clodhopping feet. My wardrobes are stacked – no stuffed with dainty size three’s. No doubt about it, I could give Imelda Marcos and her 2,700 pairs of shoes a run for her money with my treasure chest full of foot-ware fit for a fairy princess.
So why is it that with me, the same old shoe suspects are dragged out time and time again? I’m convinced that I am not alone in this behaviour. Own up ladies. How many pairs of perfect shoes do you have lurking in the bottom of your storage areas, still waiting for their moment in the spotlight? Yes they may have danced the light fantastic across the shoe shop floor, but the truth is that few items of foot-ware are really comfortable enough to be up to the long haul day in, day out.
» Read MoreAre Your Grandchildren’s Computer Games A Mystery To You?
They certainly are to me. From DS dalliances to hours of online interaction, the world of computer games has just passed me by.
Now, I may be preaching to the converted and you may well already be an online game aficionado, but just in case there are other dark age net game Dinosaurs like me, lurking around the virtualgranny site, I thought it might be useful for an expert to give us a quick waltz around this strange new world.
