Just joined so I'm introducing myself.The electric bike seems like a very good idea. I know someone who has one and they say very easy to use and no effort. I guess as you say pricey so unfortunately at the moment couldn't get one. I will get my bike out of the shed as see how I go on. Watch this space.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi there. I haven't been on here for awhile. Weather not nice today raining and even hail. I have four grandsons but they live in Cornwall so don't get to see them that often. I visited about three weeks ago so it was great to see them, all growing up very fast. I was born in St Neots but we only lived there for six months and have been up North since. I took have a dog, a cocker spaniel. Its good to get out for walks and chat to other people. I have joined different organisations as its good to get out and not stare at four walls. Hopefully would be good to make friends on here and have a chat.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Haven't been on here for a long time. Its raining and miserable outside so decided to chat and see if I can make friends. As a child I had the opportunity to learn the piano but was very shy and would't go to lessons. How lovely to be able to get lost in music. Since retiring I have joined a group called Singing For Pleasure - it means just that as most of us can't say we are great singers and we are fortunate that we have a lady playing the piano which helps. I always come away feeling really uplifted.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.I haven't been on here for a bit. It seems that when you retire you will get to do lots of things. The mind is willing but the body fails you at times. I was a keen walker but now how problem knee and foot. Have had injections and decided just to get on with things. I have now started walking again albeit short walks (4 miles instead of the 12 or so that I did with the walking club). I love going into the Peak District the scenery and quiet is very welcome. Try and not feel isolated. I have joined different clubs such as U3A, Heritage Society and the British Legion. It gives me that umph to get out of the house. My bike has sat in my shed for the past 2 years but am going to get it out and see how I get on, knee willing. I do have a dog and get to talk to other dog walkers. You seem to have some lovely countryside around you. We have canals and I love taking the dog for a walk along those mostly on my own, chatting to myself, in my head of course. I too like to make friends so hopefully if you still come on here we can have a chat again.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.You are so right Jamie. I thought I would be keeping in touch with all my work mates but not so. They all have their own lives - out of sight out of mind.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Glad to hear that you have a positive attitude that's the way to go Ian. I had breast cancer in the late 80's. Life wasn't good, divorce happening at the same time, decided to focus on my two young children somehow between them and good friends I keep going. You have to look ahead don't you.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Ah liked your comment. I am 67 yet didn't think I would feel like this. Come retirement I thought I would be up hill and down dale but didn't take into account knees and foot. Why is it that we work hard and then come retirement hints just give up.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Similar situation although I do have caring children but they have their own lives. I'm a bit torn as I live in the north, my daughter and grandchildren in the south west and son not far from me. I have lots of friends but who haven another half. Feel I need to make some decisions, do I move or stay put. For me it's the financial upkeep which I worry about. Love walking but now have probes with foot and knee - very frustrating although I do take the dog for walks. Have read several comments and a lot of us are in the same boat - old age eh!
