Hi from Scotland
Watch this postHello. I’m Mike. Just joined out of curiosity really. I’m 69 (for just a few more weeks) All the boring stuff about me is in my profile. I’ll be happy to just chat. Not looking for partner or anything. Or any arguments. I moved from London to Central Scotland 6 months ago. My hobbies include bird watching, Plane spotting, Photography & video & computers.

Joined for same reason. Live in Australia so fairly different from Scotland. I have visited Scotland a couple of times.. I have no hobbies to speak of.
I am an Australian on paper so happy to see that you join in here as well.
Those 42% heat days & weeks were really draining. Take Care I might even be back fingers crossed abbe42
time for some sleep & early bed is now a must. Enjoy this Group I Do.
I'm new today - not usually stuck for words, but not sure what to say next!
I guess where I live is a starter ......in South Ayrshire by the sea. I have enjoyable hobbies which mean I meet lots of people, but having moved here from England 7 years ago I still am in need of friendships that are a bit more meaningful than what I have at present. So rather than silently moan about it I have decided it is up to me to reach out, make more contact with people, and who knows, hopefully make a friend or two.
I haven't filled out a profile of 'interests' yet. Tried to, but for some reason the site would not respond to that button - or maybe it was me not doing something I needed to?!
Anyway, I would be happy to tell you more if anyone is kind enough to be interested!!

You live in a lovely part of Scotland and I envy your proximity to the sea and being able to walk on the beach every day. A lot of my ancestors (great-great parents) came from the south-west of Scotland and my elder daughter and I had a lovely few days in Portpatrick exploring the area. What made you move to Scotland? I live in the southern end of North Yorkshire near to Selby - have a Leeds postcode but pay my rates to Selby! I've made loads of friends since joining my local U3A - we have over 500 members and many interest groups which I can dip in and out of as the fancy takes me. Are you managing to navigate round the SS website? I find it practically impossible on my iPad but easy on my PC so am not sure what that's all about - probably something to do with having to hold maps upside down when travelling south!!! 🙂 I like to look at the latest posts on the forum to see what's going on, then jump in and comment on things that take my fancy. Speakers Corner is usually good as well although some subjects seem to bring out the worst in people with lots of red thumbs down displayed!
I just joined. I live in the US, in New York State. I like to travel, and my main purpose in joining is to get to know people in various locations who share my interests.
I'm happy to talk to anyone, but am particuarly hoping to make friends who would also like to share information about where they live, and possibly meet up during my travels.
I'm not looking for any relationship except friendship.
Is anyone going to the Keith Emerson tribute concert in Birmingham this summer?
A friend and I will be attending, then also stopping in Brighton, Edinburgh and London.
New member today, would like to hear from others for chats etc.
I am retired have lots of time on my hands, but also have lots of hobbies mainly indoor stuff, need to get out and about more!
I have traveled around Europe by Train from Aberdeen got as far as Budapest on last trip and have been to the highest Railway Station in Eu at 11,300 feet.
however traveling alone is not much fun, would be good to meet others looking to share Time and company for some adventures
I am planning to do Aberdeen to Penzance on a non change train outbound but for some reason
you need to chage three times on the way back
I also like driving and hoping to do the NS500 at some point
Happy to hear from all
Welcome to communication and information in the tech age.Private chats are a good way of getting to know strangers ,like having pen pals but no need for stationary.The forum has lots of interesting topics but some of the posts go back years. Just go round in circles for a while until you find the bits you like.
Please look in your private chats for a post from me.
Have you had any response from anyone nearer Nairn than me ?
You live in a lovely part of the country which I want to visit further ,I love the Highlands and Islands but have not been for several years ,despite the fact I live in Dumfries and Galloway.Silver Surfers ebbs and flows in it's content ,but most times there is something of interest or someone to chat to.
Anyway are you sure your'e old enough or is it an old photo?!!
Thanks for the response to my post,no it's not an old photo taken last summer,and I'm def old enough lol
And don't tell anybody. But I still go trainspotting. 😮
