Friendly chat

Hi I'm new to this but hoping to have friendly chats with others. I'm retired female, 67 and single. I like walking, reading and just having a bit of a laugh. I've recently moved and have quite a lot to sort out so that's taking up some time. However the evenings can be so long without someone to chat to. Anyone want to get in touch?

Hi Fluffy,
I live in Suffolk, so not far from you (probably). There don’t seem to be many people on the site from Suffolk, and if there are they are not posting, so I thought I’d contact you as we seem to have various interests in common.
I am in my 70s as well, nonsmoker, and hate to admit I’m a Scorpio. I find astrology very interesting, and had several friends over the years who were Virgos.
I have done a lot of searching for my family history, but have got into a bit of a slump with it lately.
And I also like historic places and - as a water sign - the sea preferably, but anywhere there’s a river or lake!
I don’t imagine we are far from each other - I can easily catch a train to Norwich, or drive if it’s not too far.
Anyway, send me a post! Best wishes,
Val

Hi Val,Lovely to hear from you and its does appear that we have much in common with one another so thats good. What part of Suffolk do you live? i have lots of ancestors from Suffolk most recent ones lived in Beccles have often taken a ride there with my daughter in her car as i dont drive.I prefer the Suffolk countryside than here in Norfolk. I would love to meet up with you maybe we can make arrangements for this. I live in Norwich so hope this will be ok for you to get here.My daughter could probably bring me to visit you as well. Looking forward to your reply Best Wishes Pat

Hi Janet
I have left you a message in the Chat site, then that will be a bit more private. Sorry this has taken so long. It would be nice to meet up. I love
Norwich, hope you have a few shops left, which is more than we have in Ipswich!
To get on Chat, just go into Community, and you should see a list saying Latest Posts, Latest Comments, Chat, etc.
Anyway, hope to hear from you soon - you have taken some finding.
Val

Hi Julie,
I was browsing through various posts on here this evening....nothing on tv.....and came across your post from last month so I thought I’d drop you a line or two!
I’m 72, retired and live on the Welsh Borders with my two little rescue dogs. I enjoy gardening, reading, decorating and walking my girlies
Maybe hear from you sometime!
Sandra

Hi Julie, hope that you have had many responses to your post. I am new to
this site, only joined on Friday so haven't chatted to anyone yet so if you are
still looking for someone to chat with, here I am. I am male 73 and single I
live in Southampton and I love to travel, unfortunately things have been a
bit difficult in the present climate but hoping I will be able to get away early
next year. I usually go to East or Southern Africa but most of these countries
are on the red list still. Hope to get to chat with others on this site, so until
then I will finish off, so take care and stay safe. Best wishes, Terry.

Thank you Sally.

Hi John, thanks for taking time to reply. How are you? Are you finding your way round this site ok? I'm not very technically minded and I very nearly gave up.

I haven't done much today except cut the grass before the next deluge of rain comes over. I can't believe it's going to be the longest day tomorrow. This year seems to be flying by.

I've not been here long but the neighbours are friendly which makes things a lot easier. Be nice to hear from you.

Slow day here as well Julie, felt cool really. Hang in there with finding your way around, it's only like moving somewhere new. I spent 20 years working in I.T. so it's not so strange for me.

What happened to 'flaming June', too hot last week on the golf course, back in winter clothing this week 🙂 .
What are your interests? Happy to try and chat about anything you like.

My main interest is walking. I belong to a walking group who meet weekly and another who do a Half Ramble round this area once a month. I belong to a local history group which is starting back up again now that Covid restrictions have been eased. Suprising to find out what's on your doorstep. Other than reading that's about it. I look after my grandson once a week which is my favourite interest.

I agree with you about the weather. Hope it gets better so you can enjoy more rounds of golf.

That's all very nice. Must be a 'senior' thing as I belong to a walking club as well but I hit a golf ball around while I'm walking :-), and usually have a 5 year old granddaughter sleepover / seaside visit at the weekend. Never fails to amaze me how quickly she can ransack the house 🙂
Been cool in Suffolk today, first day of summer as well. Don't suppose we should expect any different really.
Response from Julie Wick Original Poster made on 21st Jun 2021 18:58:53 > @john1956feb
Yes walking groups do seem to be a senior thing. But enjoyable when the weather is nice. We didn't walk today, it was too wet. 3 of us just met for coffee and chat. You made me laugh with the comment about your granddaughter. My eldest daughter lives in Cumbria and has 3 children; it's always bedlam there. My youngest girl has a 9 month old boy and lives near me in Essex.

Went to the Botanical Gardens in Cambridge today, what a lovely place, well worth a visit. Fortunately the weather was perfect, next time I'll take a picnic as well.
Response from Julie Wick Original Poster made on 23rd Jun 2021 21:24:30 > @john1956feb
Sounds like you had nice day. It was lovely today so took the time to do weeding. Had heating enginders here today so didn't go out.
