Hello in the Lockdown
Watch this postHello, I just joined here cos I am all alone in the lockdown and it is kind of scary.
I have three adult children but right now can't see them and it tears you up.
So I thought it would be good to find others in this strange time and chat.
I live in Kent and have lovely walks around me which go on but sadly both my doggies passed away last year and does anyone here walk alone and get funny looks?
Nevertheless, I do walk but have to be careful not to be social! Just a wave and a smile.

I also live alone and I make sure I go for one walk a day as this really does help. I walk alone obviously and so do a lot of other people. I am new to the area I now live in so don’t know anybody but people smile or say hello. A lovely couple spoke to me yesterday, just general chit chat, I don’t think they realise how much that means to someone. Felt less alone. Make sure you get that walk in especially in the lovely weather we are expecting. I can’t understand ‘funny looks’ what is wrong with people. Maybe they will realise not everybody has somebody! Take care
I'm sorry for your current situation.Missing your children and also your dogs must ne lonely.You are not alone many Silver. Surfers who are alone and unable to see their families. We are all suffering a lack of social contact but with the death of two nurses it resllly does feel like a war with those on the NHS front line losing their lives.
