Just joined and hoping to find new friends to chat with

Good evening everyone, how has it taken me this long to find this wonderful site?? So much to check out on here! Just to introduce myself briefly-my name is Lyn, I am 60 and a widow.


I have a grown-up son who is married with 4 young children and a grown-up daughter who lives at home while she saves for a deposit. I live on the south coast of the UK just a few mins walk from the sea. We also have a 20 week old black Lab puppy so as you'd imagine life is super busy right now.


I am a volunteer for a UK-based crisis line, something that I really do love despite it being challenging at time, good to give something back though! I also love singing, travel, baking, sewing, crochet, TV and much, much more. I am a regular churchgoer, it's part of who I am but I have a huge number of non churchgoers amongst my friends and I know they would tell you I'm no bible basher 😉 Would love to chat and make new friends and extra brownie points if you are from the USA too.....but looking forward to chatting to UK friends as well...this is me, I could start a convo in an empty room haha.


Looking forward to getting to know you.
