Another newbie to this site. Alone but not lonely, been suffering from a chesty cough since the Tuesday before Christmas but on the mend now.
Was married for 34 years when I decided I needed to change my life, so decided to leave my husband, pack my bags and return to the UK.(We moved to Australia in 1989). Don't regret the decision although didn't expect to be living a single life at this time of life. I live on the South Coast with my little rescue dog Jess (pedigree unknown, the best dog ever).
Doggie walking means a day doesn't pass that I don't have a conversation with at least 1 other dog walker. Made good friends this way, I'm very appreciative of the support and help they've given whilst I've been ill and confined indoors.
Hope to chat to others on here. Happy New Year one and all, 3 hours to the end of 2016 Hope 2017 is good for everyone.

Hello everyone. Just joined yesterday and still feeling my way around. My family keeps telling me this is my time, and I'm free to re-invent myself, but where to start? I was married for over 35 years. I have 3 daughters and 5 grands. I am on my own, but not by choice. My husband left me for a newer model. My ego and self esteem have taken quite a bruising, but I'm surviving. I'm ready to make new friends, talk with new people.
I love cooking, reading, knitting, photography, and spending time with my grandchildren. I have a sassy little Min Pin named Mika who is the boss at my house, or so she thinks.
The local university has a Lifelong Learning Program that offers a variety of classes for seniors in the spring and fall which I have enjoyed. I would love to find people just to chat with, nothing too deep, just friendly conversation.

Does being bored count in here. use to chat in a room that had this name so thought I would check it out to see if this one is as much fun as that one was. It was in the old bellsouth, what now is At&T.

Hello everyone. My name is Wyn and am now feeling very lonely. I have lived for many years on my own and would love to meet others to have a laugh and a chat with. My ideal thing to do would be to holiday with others of my age in a nice little hotel where I could get to know them. I go for days without speaking to anyone which then makes me not want to go out at all.
I am 81 but have a young outlook on life. Oh dear I hope my age hasn't put you off. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello Wyn, welcome to all us Silversurfers. there are lots of very friendly people on here so I am sure you will enjoy it and make new friends

Have tried several times to just have contact with anyone who is a bit lonely due to many friends gone to greener pastures, as yet no luck but keep hoping
Response from sonroy made on 19th Sep 2016 22:16:46

Response from jeanymay made on 1st Nov 2016 13:23:00
I only joined a short time ago, and have arranged to meet a local lady for coffee, so don't give up. Perhaps put a post on with your where abouts. Good luck

First post anywhere. Not really sure what I am doing! I am 55 and live in my family home with my adult sons....do they ever leave? I have cats, dog and chickens. I have suddenly realised I do very little but work as a teacher and need to widen my social circle and find things to do. To this end I have joined a meditation group and a yoga class.
Response from Goldfynche made on 9th Apr 2016 10:32:11
Hi Linda and welcome to the forum. Maybe you're looking after your sons a little too well! After all, mums cooking is sometimes a hard act to follow! Don't they have girlfriends?
My daughter (divorced) lives with me. Her excuse is that she's looking after me, although I do most of the cooking. I do appreciate her company though.
