Welcome to Silversurfers - lots of friendly people on here and plenty of interesting chats at the moment, no doubt, owing to the fact that most of us are in lockdown owing to the Coronavirus. Have you had any cases on the islands? What made you move from Scotland to the Azores - there must be a huge change in the climate apart from anything else. This time last year I had just returned from a fantastic holiday staying at Inversnaid on Loch Lomond and my local U3A Garden group are planning a visit to the Dumfries & Galloway area to visit gardens there. My great, great grandparents are from that area (Newtonstewart and Stranraer) so it will feel like going back home to explore. Would be lovely to hear about your life on the Azores.

A good tip on how to get involved on our site is to take a look at Current Topics in our Forum and feel free to engage in anything that takes your interest.
We also have a very active Speakers Corner section where you may find something that interests you. https://www.silversurfers.com/speakers-corner/
and if you would like to join the discussion on the challenges of self-isolation then here’s where to go: https://www.silversurfers.com/silversurfers-forum/topic/daily-diaries-of-those-who-are-self-isolating-due-to-coronavirus/
I hope you enjoy being part of our community.
