I ride horses, have cats, and live alone. I love all animals. We used to have whippets, but they have all passed on and with six cats and being 76, I am reluctant to get any more animals. I also have two horses and haven't been able to ride for a couple of years due to medical issues etc.
It would be lovely to hear from you as I am finding living alone as an elderly person with Covid coming back yet again, quite a bit challenging to keep my spirits up. It would be very nice to find a few people to chat with online, since chatting in person seems to be too difficult with Covid rearing it's ugly head yet again.
Hope to hear from you and hope things are going well for you. Don't know where Herts is, so please at least let me know that so I will learn something new!! 🙂
Thanks, Kazara
How are you? Where are you from? Please tell me a little more about yourself.
Where in Herts are you I used to live in Hemel Hempstead

I am in the States, Oregon, to be exact. It's difficult with Covid and being over 70 to make new friends. I was doing great until Covid came along and the need to isolate so much to keep from getting Covid. I had hoped that Covid would settle down after this past year, but it appears a new strain is infiltrating the US now, ahead of the new batch of Covid shots.
I am not sure where Deepeg is, but I am in Southern Oregon. It's very hot down here, especially this time of the year and fires are raging it seems everywhere close by, but thankfully, not right where I am! I am an animal lover, have two horses and six cats, lost our whippet last year and miss her terribly.
So I am here just looking for people to talk with. Since Covid it seems socialization has taken a nose dive and I spend an awful lot of time home alone with my cats. And while I love them dearly, they don't completely take the place of talking with another human! 🙂
Hope you are doing well and that I may hear from you. It's been awhile since you posted, but thought I would try.

I’m sorry you’re lonely! That’s no fun! Isolation can be hard, even with adorable pets, like you have.
I’m off to Italy in a few days — I’m so glad the temperatures have started to come down.
Praying those fires in your area have died down.
I have never been to Scotland but I expect it is beautiful. I would love to hear from you and about where you live and what you do over there. I do not live in a big city but we are fairly crowded with open territory to the east and west of where I live being right in the middle of a mountain range.
I am an animal person, having six cats, two horses, and recently lost my last whippet. I absolutely love animals of all kinds. I think I would go absolutely stark raving mad without my animals. I am a pretty introverted person and animals help me to not be completely alone. Of course, they are now congratulating around me letting me know it is their dinner time!! So, I guess I had better get to my job.
Anyway, would love to hear from you and be friends, especially since I have never been able to visit Scotland! It would be nice to hear all about your weather, politics and life in Scotland.
Hope to hear from you Sbn51.

I am in Southern Oregon in the US, grew up in Southern Illinois. My favorite place to have lived was Seattle, but I have been in Southern Oregon for the past 8 years. I don't like it here very much as the climate has become so much hotter with a lot of fires and evacuations. Thank goodness, the fire came within a block of my house, but other than severe heat, my house is still standing. I have been very fortunate.
How are things where you are in Ohio? I am originally from Southern Illinois, then Seattle, and I only wish I were back in Seattle. Other than over crowding, which seems to be going on everywhere, I loved living in Seattle. Southern Oregon was nice for the first couple of years, but as the climate heats up, it's pretty scary down here because of so many fires.
Well, if you still check this site out and are interested, please write back. I would love to make a few friends online around the country and learn about what is going on elsewhere.
Thanks, Kazara
I am not sure where you are, but I am in the US in Southern Oregon. I am overwhelmed with the natural disasters taking place all over the world, and especially in the US. So many people have lost their homes and everything they own, including many of their lives. It certainly is a very stressful time on this planet nearly everywhere at one time or another.
So, it would be nice to have a few friends to chat with about the weather and other things going on in our lives. Let me know if you get this and would like to communicate online.
Look forward to hearing from you!
Kazara
