Friendship

Hey, just new to the group, I’m 50, female, and new to a town where I know no one... just looking for people to chat to

I will be 67 next month and retired from the many different jobs in my working life. I guess that I didn’t ever find my calling. I went to university at age 59 but when it was over it was too late to launch a new career. I wanted to lecture but students don’t want to listen to old fogies, so sadly I put aside that idea and settled into life as an eccentric dog owner. I live in a beautiful Lancashire valley surrounded by hills that demand they be walked/climbed, how could I refuse? I would like to do a bit of cycle touring but a recent diagnosis of spondylosis and some hip pain means that I may not be doing a world tour anytime soon! I’m keen to make some friends as I have been on my own for a very long time now, my daughters don’t bother much with me and I don’t have a partner.I didn’t expect to be so isolated at this time in my life, isn’t it strange the way family and friends seem to forget us when we get past 60? I will pop in regularly and hope to strike up some friendships.

Hi all, Just joined the site a couple of days ago and trying to find my way around. I am lady living in Scotland in a really rural place and hoping to make new friends/penpals. Sbn51

Hi, I'm a widow and very happily retired. After losing my husband almost ten years ago I'm now accustomed to living alone. That doesn't mean I don't need someone I can share my thoughts, good conversation and lots of laughs with. I am now 75 but still lively minded in body and soul. I'm not fuddy duddy or miserable. I would really appreciate someone who enjoys life to become a good friend. Is that someone you?

Hi, I'm Barry, age 68 from the Isle of Wight. I'm keen to hear from anyone who'd like to chat.

New to this here. Trying to find my way around and make friends. Love to chat with people and laugh.

Hi, I'm wondering if one day my life will open up and become what I would love it to be rather than being stuck at home with various ailments, not helped by being a non driver. I'm considereing getting an E-bike as I like cycling. I enjoy chatting about the spirit world as I've had quite a few experiences myself. I used to enjoy art and writing but have recently developed a block in both areas lately. So they are my interests if anyone identifies with them.

Hi, I'm 59 and live in the West Midlands, happily married, no children, owned by 3 cats. I Spend a lot of time caring for an elderly mom which can be exhausting at times. Is anyone interested in a chat lots of interests, gardening, travel, cats, coach trips, have a sense of humour. Would love to hear from other ladies any age.  Have a good day

Hi, I’m new to this site and thought I’d say hello. I’m mid 50’s, living in Hampshire and currently going through a full life reset, lifestyle, work and relationships. Guidance and advice for making positive changes would be most welcome. Let me know what bought contentment to your life in your 50’s.

Hi there. Irish guy, 55, recently seperated. Just looking to see what's out there....
