I have just joined up and am here to say Hello!!
Watch this postHi everybody, I have finally taken the plunge and joined the Silversurfers. I have never done anything like this before but felt it was time I did, new year new things and experiences. I have been a widow for many years, I am a carer that works with mental health, I have two children that lead their own lives, due to my job I hardly see them anyway. I love the outdoors, walking, gardening and I do lots of knitting, sewing etc, I am a very social person so when I have time I meet up with friends for a chat and lunch. I hope everyone had a good Christmas and hope you all have a great New Year

I eventually joined the site in January. I am retired but I keep busy, between volunteering a few hours each week and taking part in other activities. I have met lots of new people and of course I really like my "ladies who lunch" with friends every week. I like walking (when its not raining) and my garden in the summer. Just started knitting again after discarding every pattern I had. Hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year
I'm 57 and female, I have recently retired from work due to ill health, I worked as a Community mental health nurse for 25 years, I'm married to someone with the same job as I did so there's no getting away from it ha ha, I have six grandchildren ranging from 21 down to 4 yrs old.
I'm determined to go away for Christmas period next year as the little ones will all be going their other grandparents.
Anyone know of somewhere nice which is dog friendly as we have a spoilt 8 year old Westie. Sorry I forgot to say I live in South Wales.
