Hi Sbn51, as a lady living in the south and starting a 3 year plan to get back to my native scotland, it would be very nice to hear updates from home.

Good morning. Or afternoon or evening. I have no idea the time difference between east coast USA and Scotland.

I'm new also. Just created this account 5 minutes ago and I'm hoping to find folks who can help to fill this growing void in my life post retirement. I've seen to have fallen into a rut. Partly due to the grey, cold winter weather that has forced me inside for what seems an eternity.

Anyway, I look forward to chatting.

Hi. Are you a regular cruiser? I used to go on one at least once a year with my late husband. We loved it. Have booked to go this year in May.

Hi. I'm Leila from London England. I've just joined today so I'll tell you a bit about myself. I'm 83 years young. I lost my husband in October 2021 so I'm having to get used to living on my own. Well me and my cat. I've got 2 sons,5 grandchildren and 8 greatgrandchildren.
I play a lot of Scrabble on line. A bit addictive. I love the ballet,listening to music, doing crosswords and reading. My boys ( my eldest is 60 and my baby is 58) have been amazing since losing my husband. We'd been married over 60 years so it's a lot to get over.
It would be great to meet new people on line. Hopefully have lots to share.

Hi,
Just joined this sight. I live in Brittany and get home as often as possible. I'm looking forward to finding my way round this sight and I'm sure I'll probably make a mistake or two. Any help or a point in the right direction would be appreciated.

Hallo Woollardot
Niceto see someone from over the water has responded. I lived in Sud Vendee for 15 years, but returned to the UK in September 2020. At first I found it hard to adjust to city life - Portsmouth - as In France I lived in the country which was wonderful. Tell me - do you actually live in Brittany permanently or do you have a holiday home there ? It would be nice to correspond with you, and I wish you all the best.

Hello Rosie,
Thank you for writing to me. I do indeed live permanently in Brittany, we made the move 7yrs ago. We live in Central Brittany, on the edge of a village with a huge garden. Quite rural. Happy to be here and the the way of life is good, but a little of me remains in the UK with family and friends.
Where in Sud Vendee did you live? Have had a few happy holidays in that area.
Still trying to find my way silversurfers, do enjoy the posts and the sentiments, along with my husband, often have a chuckle.
Would like to hear from you again.
Take care
Woollardot.
