Joined to chat make friends and maybe find someone to travel with.
From Cambridgeshire / East Anglia enjoy being outdoors and taking the world around us.
Be good to hear from people and get to know you.

Welcome to the site......Fingers crossed you'll make some interesting contacts on here. Loads of topics to interest & reply to.
I'm down in the S.E.,, but hopefully you'll find some new pals closer to home. All the best 'Beauty'
I enjoy eating out, seeing a show sometimes but mainly a home bird.
I have been divorced for many years and have a son and daughter and 3 beautiful grandchildren who are a big part of my life as we are all really close.
I have always been drawn to the more spiritual side of life although i have no interest in any organised religion except perhaps buddhism.
My ethnic background is mainly celtic ( welsh/irish).
Thats what my Dna test said anyway lol
Just read your profile. Not sure where you're located? Haven't had a DNA test done yet....just hope I'm human. All the best
I am an unashamed Christ follower who stumbles a lot so I probably don't need a DNA test to know I am very human like Beauty said:)
I'm with you on the organised religion and Buddhist point of view.
I hope you are enjoying the site, get in touch if you would like to chat.

My wife died recently and I find myself alone at the age of 65. This is not the sort of future I anticipated a year ago. I'm alone in the sense I am the only one in the house now. I have good friends and a loving family but it's not quite a same. I still work - run my own business - and that keeps me occupied a lot of the time. However, I'm used to taking 4 or 5 holidays a year touring mainly England and Wales and I cannot imagine doing that on my own. Truth is I miss female companionship and would dearly love to find someone possibly in the same situation as me to share those holidays with. Maybe just chatting here would be a good place to start.

Welcome to ...all of us.
It's a ..../proverbial when you lose the main person in your life.....leaves a total vacuum. Sometimes it feels like you've lost your mind or a major part of you. The intensity diminishes with time, and life does continue. Many of us have experienced something similar.....so, if you reach out (as you're doing), you'll find someone who understands and can help you through.
I have a small and caring family but it would be great to chat to people of my own age. I’m interested in all kinds of things; reading, the cinema, music, walking and exploring places ( love an old building! ) and I enjoy getting out and cycling, just for pleasure, no Tour de France
Sad to hear that times are tough for you at the moment. It's not easy being an only...when you're the one expected to do everything... Hope you can find some extra reserves of strength from wherever you can. You don't mention where you're based, but there are usually local organisations which can help out.....Have you tried your library for starters...All the best Beauty
I joined earlier this month and this is my first post. I'm hoping find someone local who can help me to find a normal social life away from the increasingly draining end of life care role for my mother. Things get more than a bit hard at times doing that when single and having no siblings.
I do some voluntary work and am a Freemason but often would just like to meet someone for coffee and a chat or a day out not on my own. I'm only 57 and physically quite fit too!
Must get a decent photo of myself on here...
Great that you've found us.....Hope you can begin to cope with village life, slowly slowly & cautiously. Village life can be a challenge....lived in a small Kentish village in the 80's. Suburbia is far less so...All the best for settling in. Beauty
thanks!
Just joined today! Site seems interesting!
Hope all is well with everyone!
Welcome to all of us & pleased that you've found all the different topics. Any health issue is a worry, but once you can discuss it with others, it can be reassuring.
Hope you have fun on here.
Love your pic...Pity you didn't stay on here. However, have to say you're right....not the easiest sight to navigate. All the best. Beauty
