Just joined so I'm introducing myself.We're going dancing for New Year's. It sounds more glamorous than it is, considering it's at our seniors' centre. I always feel we are the "younger ones" which gives you an idea of the demographic. But I do love hearing the life stories of people who have lived and we seem to have a lot of Brits in our community. Of course, those who come to dances are a self selected group. I have heard lots of stories of people finding partner in their later years. We're going with friends this year. Hubby is always the designated driver. We have lots of neighbours with animals so fireworks are not popular. It's raining here. We don't get much "winter" as such on this island, but lots of damp days, so I am looking forward to socializing.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hello, I'm 69 and I live in Canada. Specifically, on Vancouver Island. I am a wife, and a grandmother. I've harboured the idea of a home exchange to the UK for years, but we are adding on to our house and it's not in the cards until we get this done. We live near town but on 22 acres. Don't farm, but we do have a garden with raspberries and so forth. Have two golden retrievers, one pup and one old lady golden. I'm originally from Newfoundland, which many know of from the musical, Come From Away. Despite that, I'm a private person, and I do find the short days of winter tiresome. I find the winter days a bit boring at times. I'm on a diet at the moment, with the intent to lose one size of clothes, so baking is not a hobby I want to indulge. I would enjoy hearing about your life in the UK. We have elk in our back yard. In fact, the herd was here in force last night, and I need to put up an electric wire so they don't keep knocking over my new garden border of Alberta Spruce. I suppose that sounds foreign. We see a black bear once in a while. But I've never seen a cougar although they are on the island and I hear from neighbours that they have been sighted. The last time I saw a bear I was weeding and my brother called out to me to look up. When I did I saw a mother bear and two cubs coming down the trail from the barn. I don't know who was more startled. They ran away as soon as they heard me call out I live with my husband and my brother. Hubby and I have four sons, as we are a blended family. One son has a developmental disability and we have bought him a townhome where he lives with his cousin, who has a similar disability and is doing fine. I am fortunate and I know it. A bit bored at the moment. But we'll go to a dance at New Year's with friends. What are your plans for New Year's? -
