YorkshireLass100's bio
I live near Thirsk in North Yorkshire, UK. I split up from my partner of 7 years a few months ago when the relationship ran out of steam. Would love to meet another guy and find love for both of us but it isn't easy, in fact well nigh impossible during lock down. Very lonely lifestyle but the sun is shining and my view across the fields to the hills is lovely so living in hope. Thought it would be good to 'talk' to interesting people electronically so joining up this site with my fingers crossed. -

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi, Similar happened to me. Partner left out of the blue. I decided to wait 3 months before deciding what I would do next and where. I've no family left and my best friend is in Cornwall so I can go wherever too. Decided on a move to another part of the Yorkshire Dales for a while by renting a mobile home for a while, started selling off furniture as much smaller place and bang came down the portcullis on moving, the caravan site closed and on the temp job I was doing for a few months. I found another temp job part time for a few weeks to get me out of the house but otherwise completely stuck in limbo and very frustrated that is the situ so you have my sympathy for sure.

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi, I am also working. Just helping out in the local Holland and Barrett shop to cover staff who are self isolating. Not very challenging but at least it gets me out of the 4 walls - before taking the job I was 19 hours a day with no one at all to talk to live, then 5 hours of trying to sleep. Your doggie looks cute. Regards ChristineViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi, I just joined the site within the last hour. I was taken aback when yours was the first comment I read. Namely because I am the same age, have a similar living situation (albeit mine is in North Yorkshire near Thirsk, I have two daughters who haven't bothered me for years due to blaming me for the marriage breakup and I have had a distant relative of spondylosis since my late 20s (fortunately controlled by 3 to 5 monthly treatments (my MOT/service as I like to call it) by a cranial osteopath wherever I have lived in the country which has let me keep cycling and hill walking - within reason for over 30 years - God bless them! My partner of 7 years left a few months ago when he and I had to acknowledge it had run out of steam as he wanted to sit on a sofa and I wanted to keep on being out and about in the countryside. Having said that, I am finding the loneliness soul destroying. I could try to blame lock down, which hasn't helped, but the truth is I just don't have friends who stay in touch - except my best friend from school days but she is in Cornwall - mostly due to my changing jobs, countries, homes more times than I don't know what. I'm trying to move as cannot afford to run this big farmhouse on my own but cannot decide where to, etc. I love the northern hills so reluctant to live anywhere flat. I'm not a city person. I've taken a temp job just helping out in the local Holland and Barrett shop for a few weeks part time to get me out of the house - my two budgies and I have run out of conversation and the fish in the small aquarium aren't much company. I am desperate to get a dog again, mine died 18 months ago and ex would not let me get another one as we both worked full time. Landlady will insist it is kept outside but I will find way around it for a few weeks until I can leave when lock down is lifted as need to have the company of a dog again very quickly before I climb the walls completely. I am a volunteer dog walker with the Cinnamon Trust as just got an assignment to walk a collie each day whilst the owner recovers from an op so at least I have a lead in my hand again each day and she is lovely. Tell me more about your 4 legged friends when you have chance please. Bye for now ChristineViewDate:

"really" making new friends!Hi, I know how you feel! I would suggest trying a Meet Up group in whatever topic appeals to you in your area. If you go on their website and put in your postcode/area and distance you are willing to travel it will show all the groups available and you can join whichever appeals to you. It has saved my sanity several times as something to look forward to, to break up the loneliness. I haven't managed to arrange a one to one get together after a meeting but at least people who attend are willing to talk to you (that is the point of the organisation) and none of the walking ones I have attended have included people who have come together. On the walking ones, if there is a pub at the end of the walk they tend to meet up there (it makes such a nice difference from everyone scuttling off immediately). Good luck! Christine -
