Join in any of the conversation, you can meet some very nice people, as you can see if you read the different letters I am in contact with cat lady tawny, and answered byculla who joined yesterday I’m in my 80’s and it’s nice to have a chat and see how other people are living there lives
I've never done this sort of thing before; not since I was a schoolboy!
Seems like a million years ago!
I suppose I must be the oldest fella on this site -- 73; unless you all know better. I'm in Hertfordshire & trying to introduce myself to all who are interested in being my pen pal. I live alone now simply because I recently lost my wife of 52 years just eight months ago. I used to go to Sligo in West of Ireland with her for donkey's years (no pun intended) 'coz she was from there -- a farm lass. All history now.
Well, I won't take up any more of your time. It should be nice to liaise with people in this manner -- pen palling, I mean. And see what happens. It could be fun. And maybe, someone from Sligo will join in, too! That would be wonderful. I'll say 'bye for now; back soon.

Can give you a few years.. I’m 87. My husband died 6 months ago, we had been married 64 years. It takes some getting used to living alone......never been to Ireland, but love their Guinness, there is a response from Wilf, I too love the music, but got a bit past the jigs
See how things span out 'coz I'm not used to being on my own. I dare say that I shall find my way around in time &, hopefully, make some wonderful friends here.
Back later, & thanks again, Hazel.

It was no coincidence that I remarked I was just below Hull on the map, you mentioned in your initial letter that your mother was from Hull and that you had visited there for a week..
How are you managing in Georgia with the coronavirus lockdown, we are just starting to try to get back to normal, but I don’t think the new normal will be anything like normal living for a long time , do you?
NORMAL living for a long time --- if ever !
Did you notice a letter from a lady signed as TAWNY, from her posting,loves animals, wouldn't it be nice to include her in our posting,
I am also new to this pen pal thing. My name is Michele and I am 66 years old, living in York. Would love to be your penpal.

So pleased to see you have contacted Vicki, I thought I had read you were from York, which I just presumed was England, but Vickie has got you American, will be interested to see where we can pinpoint you on the map
Do contact Tawny (Gillian) or anyone else who will enjoy our chats, they would appreciate you contacting them
Read your posting, if you look at the other postings there is a catlady24 her name is vicki, we started a couple of days ago posting to each other, she is in America, our interests seem similar to yours , I suggested to her we include you in our postings, as you can see from her reply she likes the idea, so if you reply to her she would be pleased
My name is Allison. I'm not from Europe but from Tasmania, Australia. I would love to be your pen pal. I love with my fiance and my cat and dog. I love films and arts:)

Anyone interested in 2020 in a pen pal aged 83 who has things to say on less than trivial topics
who is flexible and adaptable but needs the contact from self isolation that writing online would bring.
Esther
Is that okay with you?
Thans for your kind offer to write anything on a topic of my choice. I hope you will do the same.
Did you enjoy communicating with a young person assuming you did. I am not sure I would. Too patronizing for me to even suggest it. Do you think people are genuinely looking for friends? Not so sure as there are plenty of groups out there. Maybe they are expecting too much.
True the virus is making us look for online friends or at least people to communicate with. It is new to me though I have thought about finding a penpal before and never done it. Now is the time for me.
Do you want to talk about yourself (your life and occupation sounds interesting and not run of the mill), and relaionships or what you have done with or to others. Up to you of course.
I have a phobic fear of animals which probably is genetic coz my mother had the same fear as does my daughter. My brothers and son do not. There now you know that I have two kids both grown up and 1 grandchild. I try not to show fear but online it doesn't matter I am scared of Convid 19 though and that is another story.
Enough for now. When you repond I will tell you more and I hope you will do the same.
Take care.

I enjoy writing, reading books, music (seeing bands), appreciate art, growing things ( flowers, food), country-life, cats, nature, walking and riding pillion.
I live in Dorset, am 56 and look forward to making 'new friends' to exchange letters with. Anything.....be it gloriously worded long letters, or just any everyday chat and I like laughs too.
In the meantime, to celebrate Stevie's Birthday today......"Signed, Sealed, Delivered.....I' m Yours"
