Morning from a silver-surfing Yorkshire lass who is spending too many days not speaking to anyone - but the walls.Hi Elaine...well I'm surprised, but pleased, to get a reply on the site as it seems pretty dead to me. I live in The Hope Valley...about 6 miles from Sheffield...and you're right it's a beautiful part of the country round here. I was so lucky to spend lockdown here and not in Manchester where I moved from around two years ago. I only have to walk 5mins from my front door and I'm in the open countryside. The only downside to life here is the occasional internet breakdown...every time there's a storm!...and the amount of locally produced food. It's all very nice but a diet of pork pies, cheese, cakes and pulled pork sandwiches is hell to burn off! An 'odd' bit of work is a good thing surely A bit more info re me...64yrs old. Live alone but have my 18yr old son staying a lot of the time. I walk a lot in the hills, cycle a lot, play table tennis and chess and work as and when I wish. More about you maybe? AndyViewDate:

When this is all over I would like...Hi Streudal, I don't know what I am supposed to say to seem like 'good company'. :) I'm not a convicted murderer, I like culture rather than a 'beach holiday', I love city breaks but only in cities where there is a history of 'culture'. On that subject what is 'culture' anyway? What i enjoy and what another may enjoy can be very differing things.ViewDate:

Hoodies, what's the point?I was in Stockholm late last year...before the 2 week quarantine on return!...and the 'fashions' there areso different from here anyway. I saw most women,,,ages 14-60 lets say...wearing no make up and wearing very baggy washed out jeans and a hoodie...no false nails, no 'orange' make up. The 'guys' were just wearing whatever....or it looked like whatever they had found that day in the wardrobe. A different 'ethos' perhaps?ViewDate:

What are your views on TV Charity Begging Adverts?Emotional blackmail in spades....we are bombarded with pictures....real or fake?....of children who live exceptionally deprived lives. Yes I feel for them but the sheer number of these 'cries for your money' is getting ridiculous. I would think that the amount of these ads from the charities is actually causing a push back and LESS people are giving than would without the persistent pleas. To be clear...I give monthly to UNICEF and have done for 20 years. They do exceptional work and the percentage of your cash that actually reaches the kids is much higher than many charities.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi everyone...just joined the site so not sure what I'm doing. I'm 64 and I live in The Peak District. I'm a semi retired psychotherapist and to be honest I'm a bit lonely so talking and chatting would be good. Like the original poster says it's a bit of a surprise how you suddenly realise you have become isolated. Anyhoo...here goes
