MOVING HOME ALONE ......AND TO A NEW PART OF THE COUNTRYHi! I totally understand the difficulties. Making new friends can be tricky and as you say a lot of people are already entrenched in their own groups, I have recently moved from Scarborough to Barnsley (back to my roots...and I know most people would moved the other way!!) I lived in Scarborough for 7 years looking after parents. The draw of moving for me was being closer to family - albeit certainly not on their doorstep. But when it comes to making friends I have started from scratch. Ive done the volunteering bit - and still do - so I have made acquaintances - but a close friendship comes slowly. I have realized that the danger is taking your problems with you, and if I had difficulties making friends in Scarborough - then why should things be different in Barnsley? Maybe we need to be braver and actually risk rejection and do the inviting - rather than waiting to be invited - for a coffee/ a natter etc....just a thought I hope this makes sense!! But whatever you decided - I think this site is a good start!! Audrey
