Have you considered Volunteering? A local NT Trust site or similar. That is what I have done for the last couple of years alone and have learned a lot from being there as well as thoroughly enjoying talking to visitors and making new friends. If you enquire they will usually invite you in to have a tour and tell you what is involved. Hours are as much or as little as you wish...no pressure...worth a go! Good Luck anyway.

I'm starting a new chapter in my life although I've not moved home. I've always enjoyed cycling and walking. Although the local Ramblers are operating under difficult circumstances, there is a boom in walking club membership and it seemed a really good way to meet people without breaking any rules. I think its difficult for seniors to socialise at the moment and i was getting very depressed. 'Im hoping this site also helps to interact with like minded people.
