Just joined and looking for like minded friendsHi Zazz - I found your post very motivational - I live in Somerset too in Weston-Super-Mare. I just this week travelled to Minehead to meet someone. A slow road in but what a beautiful area. dotted with pretty villages. A little cottage near the coast sounds very appealing. Cheers AnniViewDate:

Side effects of The Jab?Hi - I was unwell for a whole week and the doctor did warn me - perhaps because I had mentioned allergies or reactions I'm not sure. It was rather like a mild case of the flu but no temperature. Just hoping the 2nd vax isn't the same. I'm 67.ViewDate:

Great Rail Journeys USA Coast to coast departing Sep 12th - 30th.I see - thanks for your reply Brian. Have to say I'm fascinated at how some peoples are happy with their own company - I definitely need feed back or a sounding board if you like (in a positive sense). In todays world it works really well to be self contained. You've made me quite wistful for Auss again - had some good fun times there in the 70s.ViewDate:

Great Rail Journeys USA Coast to coast departing Sep 12th - 30th.Hi Brian I think Reader99 started posting about this back in 2019 - not too sure if he went 2 years running. Iam actually Australian and wouldnt mind do the trip you mention - if you want to tell me more that would be great. Driving back alone across the Nullarbor sounds a bit crazy. My imagination says it would have been good to pose a photo broken down with no water!ViewDate:

When this is all over I would like...A cautious yes not interested in travel for the sake of it but more for a cultural experience. But having spent a quiet 5 years in France then nearly three back in the UK I am very keen for new experiences and company. Tell us more about yourself so everyone knows if you would be good company :)ViewDate:

Re-socialisationHi Ellen thankyou for writing - it is comforting to hear from someone in a similiar situation. ... I think I'm getting to a better stage now where I can let go of the research and frustration and look ahead for myself. Do you think you will ever have a separate break? I have had a wonderful support councellor who teaches autistic children and there seems to be an overlap with my husband (he also seems to have a processing issue. Tell me about your partners behaviours if you would like; I have studied psychology a bit and so quite interested - it may help me too. Cheers AnniViewDate:

Re-socialisationhaha! I was going to get a cat and call it Streudal but waiting until Covid is over. It sounds fun pronounced in a kind of Austrian accent. I used to breed Devon Rex cats a long time ago (but not a mad cat lady) they are so sweet and retrieve like dogs. I had one that used to be so laid back and tuck himself in under a throw in the afternoons. I would walk into to my daughters bedroom and he would lazily lift his head then back to sleep......I still have a house in France - it was supposed to sell 4yrs ago but became tied up in court over a boundary issue. So I think for a safe holiday we might try a trip there in August all going well. Straight into The Chunnel at Dover - no bnb - a tent at Le Touquet then on to the Charente. Its a bit quiet there but at least it will be a change with good weather.ViewDate:

Re-socialisationI didn't know you get divorced like that but it would have to be simple I can see that. I'm interested in Tasmania at the moment - I've seen quite a bit of New Zealand which is truly unique - if you ever get the opp you might enjoy it. The people are so nice and friendly and less Covid ....ViewDate:

Re-socialisationthankyou Mosquito - too expensive to divorce so just separate travel - once upon a time I did travel and camp on my moto in France and New Zealand - its still quite appealing but would have to be fitter than I am as they are quite heavy to wrangle. The thing is there is such a lot of cameraderie on motorcycles; you meet all types of people and no edges. Sounds like you have a good plan for your life too - you can't beat the coast no matter what the weather although the sun always wins :)ViewDate:

Caring for adult sonMake it clear to the doctor you are not being unreasonable and that you would look after him given the vaccine. Put it in writing. Its not being unreasonable. As selfless as the NHS can be they are too used to being autocractic.ViewDate:

MOVING HOME ALONE ......AND TO A NEW PART OF THE COUNTRYHello ....I have moved around an awful lot Uk, France, Australia. Just within France the expat community varied tremendously across regions. Important to rent first and in the Uk i found it quite useful to stand in a queue in a PO to gauge atmosphere. Although this is pretty impossible during Covid. Its very easy to think the grass is greener on the other side - there is also equity release for you if its mainly a money move. I found a perfect town in my travels but it is further north - a place called Southwell near Notts. 5yrs ago it was a lovely diverse little town with its own Cathedral, special shops and a really friendly attitude. I remember sitting in a cafe one day looking at tourist info and a lady came up to me out of the blue to offer help. Right opposite there was another cafe with a group of people from an Italian conversation class. Wish I were there now as its not too friendly where I live. This my first post so hoping to make friends along the way :)
