Greetings

Good evening! I am new to this forum, wondering if there is any activity on this site. I see you have a Facebook page, but also note that it is an open rather than a closed group, so I am not very inclined to use it.


I am 60, recently retired, married, living in southwestern Virginia in a log home. I have numerous interests including amateur radio, gardening, fishing, reading, and cooking. I hope to make a few more acquaintances and have some interesting exchanges with others while here. I must admit I am a little concerned because I do not see evidence of a lot of activity on this site, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.


Let me know if there is anyone home here. 🙂

Hi everyone
I'm new to this site, I've seen it mentioned on Facebook by a few friends and thought I would check it out. I'm originally from Canada, then moved to Ireland and moved to London in 2012 and loving it. 🙂

Hi all, i'm another other newbie. I'm retired and live in Bournemouth about 2 miles from the beach. The area around here is beautiful, and ideal for walking. My favourite walk is along Bournemouth promenade and sitting on the pier with a book. Meeting people and enjoying a good chat is a bonus. I too love quizzes and also Trivia games .

Hi, also new on here. I live further south, in Essex. I've been retired for almost 6 years and am making the most of it while I am still am relatively fit. Enjoying holidays abroad and at home. That's in between playing bowls for the local teams both indoor and outdoors. I'd recommend bowls anyone that is looking for a great social life and gentle exercise with a degree of competitiveness. Also like to read, go to quiz nights and occasionally go fishing!

Hi - I've just joined as well but have been following Silversurfers on Facebook for a while. I also live in England a little north of Annie, on the outskirts of Berkeley, Gloucestershire.

Hello Tess,
I have just joined this group and am finding my way around . I also have a Facebook page but as you say it is open to all, and sometimes I find it would be nice to just be able to have a private conversation with just a few friends. I live in England near the sea at a place called Weston-Super-Mare . I was very interested to see you live in a log home , what is that like and how long have you lived there? My house is just a normal brick built 3 bedroom semi . Nothing unusual about it at all, oh except we have just moved into it and there was a 5ft deep pit in the back garden that we are filling in.
Do you have any pets ? I have 2 cocker spaniels called Molly and Millie they are 10 & 8 so getting on a bit like me .
Hope to hear from you soon
Annie:-D
