Pen pals

I have been pen palling for a while now does anyone else do this and is there somewhere on the site for this? It would be nice to write to people on here if they were interested.

Greetings,
I love to do snail mailing and my saying I live by goes this way. I have never met a stranger. If you are lonely then do something about. Life is to short pick up pen and paper make a friend, cheer someone up. Enjoy people cost a stamped envelope piece of paper. Expand your world to make a lifetime of friendship to share your joys and sorrows. I'm 68 years old turn 69 April 9 born on Easter. My husband passed 2003 from cancer. I'm Christian down to earth enjoy people hearing about your life story as I will share mine. Looking forward to our friendship for many years to come.

Please write me at:

Hiya Ann. This is Linno from Australia; is that far enough for you ? I love writing, photography and reading. I hope we can be great penpals. Australia is in the grip of a drought right now, quite different to where you live. Catch you later, Linno

Hi, I'm Pamela from Scotland. I was a nurse until several years ago, and now care full-time for my mother. I've had penpals for many years and still really enjoy getting to know people from all around the UK and further afield. I love to read, go to the cinema and theatre when I can, swimming, and loads more besides - don't have time to get bored.

Hi, thought I would try a pen pal search now I'm retired and looking for friendship with like-minded folk. I have recently moved to the West Country and love the area and outdoor life. I enjoy cooking, reading and travelling and visiting new places. I'm single after a long marriage, am 71 but very young at heart and sociable. It would be good to share everyday news and views with new pals!

Hi everyone, I've just joined this site and would welcome some communication with anyone who wants a friend. My main interest is art, I love to paint, I also have a dog and like to walk. I'm also interested in the natural world, in fact anything to do with wildlife and nature. Although most topics interest me, those are my main ones.
I live in South Wales near the Severn and Usk estuary.

Does anyone find pen pals on here? I have replied to many and have had no responses. Can anyone give me advice in case I am posting in the wrong area?

Hi, I'm 64 years old woman (ex nurse) and live in London, I would love to have pen pals, I always have had pen pals, unfortunately last year, I lost the ones I had due to illness. I love reading, music, I have a very varied taste, from R&B to Classical . I have a lot of green parrots coming into my garden from the local park...very noisy but fun to watch. I love writing whether short or long letters, you will always be sure of a reply

Hi,

I am a 69 year old guy, living in South Wales, with interests in: Geology, Computing, Tropical fish, reading, TV, and collecting precious metals.
I would welcome chats with anyone about any subjects. Along with many other people, I have found that getting older and loneliness seem to go hand in hand.
Response from JanW64 made on 3rd Jan 2019 22:50:27
Hi
I live in the West Midlands and I am 64. I also like geology and paleontology, I used to have tropical fish many years ago, now I have a couple of goldfish in my pond. I read each night in bed before I go to sleep.
Would love to swap experiences.
Janet

Hi. I am a 58 years old male and fit and healthy. I follow sports , run a bit and cycle a bit,
I enjoy local history and read a lot and like classical music although I am not an expert.
I recently left teaching after a long stretch. The magic had left me in that job!
I am happily married with two children who are grown up now.
I do not have any friends any more because contacts have been lost. I find that sad so I would be happy to link up with someone middle aged who is puzzling what the future holds friendship wise! I live in South Wales.

Hi! I’m 53 years old and for some reason, perhaps its winter, I’m really feeling it! I live in Central Scotland and am open to chat about most things, but not politics, I’ve had enough of that recently. I enjoy reading, dog walking and help out at a local Girl Guide unit. I had pen pals in my schooldays and it would be fun to catch up and find out what people are up to. Hope to hear from you soon. Oh! not sure it makes a difference or not but I’m female.
