georgesmum's bio
Hi I live in a lovely old Welsh Border town on the River Severn. I moved here a few years ago from the Midlands and really enjoy living in this beautiful area with my two little rescue dogs. After living and working in Britain’s second city for many years it’s so lovely to enjoy the peace and tranquility that this area offers.

I don't want a Smart phoneSo glad I’m not the only one who dislikes smartphones! Since retiring a few years ago I seem to have retreated from the world of “tech” , they do say use it or lose it....well I’ve lost it! My trusty old Nokia is used for texting and emergencies only so if it ever rings I go into a tail spin and wonder what the devil it is......by the time I’ve found the blessed thing the call has gone...phew! However, all is not lost on me as I love my iPad and couldn’t be without it.......but stick an iPhone in front of me and I’m out of here! CheersViewDate:

Friendly chatHi Julie, I was browsing through various posts on here this evening....nothing on tv.....and came across your post from last month so I thought I’d drop you a line or two! I’m 72, retired and live on the Welsh Borders with my two little rescue dogs. I enjoy gardening, reading, decorating and walking my girlies Maybe hear from you sometime! SandraViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Welcome to Silversurfers Sarah, I hope you enjoy your time on here! I joined several years ago but haven’t been on here for a while and in that time the site has changed so much that I now find it difficult to navigate my way around. I’ve noticed people saying they keep getting lost and losing posts and I’m not surprised! Where are you based? I live on the England/Wales border , retiring here 7 years ago for a quieter life!......I’m all for a quiet life these days. Happy to chat anytime SandraViewDate:

Another new member saying hello!Hello again, I trust you’re starting to find your way around the site? I’ve been popping in and out for years and still keep getting lost or losing “posts” so there’s not much hope for me! Are you still visiting your family in Switzerland? A beautiful country which I’ve visited on a couple of occasions.....I will never forget my first visit to Lucerne when I was in my early 20’s. Hopefully you’ll get plenty of sightseeing done before you leave for the UK. To answer your question as to my whereabouts....no I don’t live in Oxfordshire but I retired to the South Wales borders on my retirement, having been born and bred in West Midlands. Anyway, happy to chat away about nothing in particular! Take care SandraViewDate:

Just joinedHi Laura, Has it really been two weeks since we “spoke”. I haven’t come across the chat rooms that you mention, I think it tends to be one to one on this site...but I may be wrong! Happy to message you via the chat section anytime if you want to. I too am divorced, some 23 years now and have a grown up son and 3 young grandchildren, the newest being 4 months old. Anyway if you fancy a chat just drop me a line. SandraViewDate:

Hi - I’m backHi Val, thanks for the reply. I’ll message you on “chat” later....see how that works nowadays! Just going to put my feet up...or should I say foot....resting on a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel( another tip gleaned from the internet) Speak later.... SandraViewDate:

Hi - I’m backHi Valla, Like you I’ve returned to dip my toe in the water after an absence of about 12 months and the site seems to have changed out of recognition. I’m having to feel my way around again like a newbie! I have also noticed that there aren’t as many posts as before! I guess everyone is busy elsewhere. What happens when you hit your 70’s? Until now I have always been fit and healthy but suddenly I seem to be suffering from the silliest of ailments....a twisted ankle followed by plantar fasciitis....I’m limping like a good ‘un at the moment! Never mind....we soldier on....take care! SandraViewDate:

Just joinedHi Laura, I know how you feel about finding your way around this site. I was quite an active member until a couple of years ago after becoming a bit frustrated with the layout.... I could never find previous posts and kept losing my way but I don’t know whether it’s an age thing but I’m finding the newer format even more confusing. Reading through other posts it would seem I’m not alone! Hopefully you’ll enjoy the experience and make new friendsViewDate:

Pen palsHi Everyone, I’ve been dipping in and out of this site for several years but like other people say it can be rather “slow” on here and my inbox always remains empty.......... was it something I said, or maybe didn’t say? Before I finally give up let’s see if anyone fancies the odd chatty message or email!ViewDate:

Kindle vs BookI use the local library religiously every three weeks.......I have to say I’m an old fashioned “page turner”. My Kindle sits in the bedside drawer gathering cobwebs I’m afraid!ViewDate:

Washed up and washed outKeep positive...the washed out and up feelings will pass, it may take a while but one day you will look back and realise it was for the best. You may not agree at the moment but life will improve, you’ll adjust to your new situation and gradually new opportunities will open up...... Onward and ever upward!ViewDate:

Hi All - any one fancy a chat?Oh Cariad and No worries I don’t like the sound of your stalkers at all......very creepy, not to mention annoying. It doesn’t matter how old a person is, that sort of behaviour is not acceptable is it. How do you cope?ViewDate:

Has technology changed dating for the better?I met my second husband through a dating agency prior to internet dating. Unfortunately after 14 turbulent years we parted and I have subsequently decided that I won’t be going down that route again. Having said that my son met his wife on a dating website and after several years they are really happy together...........so maybe the more modern dating websites do work well for some!ViewDate:

Calling all Dog lovers ... join in with our Dog Chat!So sad ....and all us dog people will understand how you are feeling right now. It is a very distressing time, especially when you have to make that final decision to let your beloved pet go. I had to do this recently and although my dog was 17 and was blind and deaf I still felt guilty despite knowing that it was the right thing to do.....a horrible experience but as all pet owners know , it is usually an inevitable part of the process. Our thoughts are with you soldierbloo.ViewDate:

New to this!Welcome Elaine, Like you, I too am a very quiet person and find it difficult to strike up conversations with people I don't know, nor am I a "joiner" so the thought of joining clubs or groups fill me with dread! However, get me behind my dogs leads and I will happily chat to any dog walkers I pass on my travels, our pets seem to break down the barriers don't they! Hope you enjoy your time with Silversurfers.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi Kirsty, Welcome to the site. I can promise you that there is a light at the end of what may seem a very long tunnel. I've been on my own for 19 years and found that once I'd got over the first couple of years I picked up the pieces and went from strength to strength. It may not seem possible at the moment but I'm sure you will do the same! -
