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"

So sorry I didn't get back to you sooner ; I have "hit and miss" problems with my old laptop ! The broadband signal where I am can be a bit of a lottery at times .
Thank you for the welcome to us "newbies" . It's so good to have a connection to each other , and maybe not feel as lonely too .; especially now of course .
I'm not really used to "chat rooms" , as I tend to use the phone and emails mostly , but when I was a bit younger I loved writing a letter or two to pen pals in the post ( what's that eh ? !! ) and used to enjoy thinking out and writing the odd poem when I was a youngster ; especially about nature .
Would be lovely to hear from you again Patricia , if you'd like that .
All best wishes to you and your family ,
Keep well.
Also , best wishes and keep well to everyone on Silversurfers !
I have gleaned from your posts that you used to write letters, are similar age to me, enjoy nature, cats and live in the Highlands! All good to me!
I am hoping to find people to exchange letters by snail mail so if that interests you or anyone else reading this, please do contact me.
I live in Dorset, am female, 56, reading books, writing. growing things in my garden (watching things blossom and producing an organic food source) I so love music (enjoy seeing bands) Motorcycles - I ride pillion (current a Honda VFR 800) Love to hear others' opinions, chat, banter or gloriously written letters...by post.
Think on't! It will be the bees knees!
My name is Ann,I'm 55,and owned by 3lovely cats.Ive been enjoying being in the garden this week and planting up some hanging baskets and had some nice walks in the park admiring the lovely blossom and tulips in full bloom.I love nature and animals and trips out to the countryside and the coast.I love Dorset, particularly Weymouth where we have had many lovely holidays.Hope you have a good day, take care from Ann.
Pat 🙂
Have lots of relatives in Bloxwich - am doing my family tree
We are very restricted at the moment, weather not too good today but did get to 20 C. It has rained but dodged the rain to walk the dog.
Pat
We went to the King Evathelon hotel near Coral bay in the February 2years ago and weather was lovely, everyone was flying kites on the beach and having barbecues.
I will be glad when this lockdown is over so we can start traveling again,we were meant to be going to Turkey in 2weeks time but it's been cancelled,we did manage to get a week in Gran Canaria though at the end of February which was nice.What are your hobbies?I like gardening and spending time with our 3cats, their are plenty of stray cats to feed in Cyprus aren't their
Hope you have a lovely weekend take care from Ann X
Look at Neale St Walsall, where I lived, it's off Hollyhedge Road and so is Pargeter St. Did she go to St Andrew's School?
Your mum may have known him.

I was at Bletchley last May - easy to get there on the train from Walsall.
I live in Kolossi. You were here on Green Monday - equivalent of Shrove Tuesday, Lent starts next day.
I had a trip to UK booked leaving Wednesday 29th April, returning 13th May - been cancelled as you'll realise.
I have joined C3A (U3A in UK) and go to book club and lead the family history group. Can spend hours up my tree.
Our dog, as a very young pup, was abandoned and walked into our house one night and she's nearly 5 now. Lots of cats are being caught by charities and neutered then returned to where they were caught. They normally have a clipped ear to prove they are neutered.
Hope your weather holds up - we have rain!!!! but was 20 C today.
Stay safe

I have a penpal who lives in Deep more avenue also
Weather bit dull today but still 18degrees warm for April.
You live on a wonderful island,.It was kind of you to take in your little dog,if I lived their we would have a menagerie.Last time we visited a lady from a restaurant in the harbour at Paphos was rescuing and feeding stray cats,I took her some cat food for them.Hope you have a lovely weekend, from Ann.️
How are you doing tonight
Well lets see - didn't go to pubs in Walsall as I was too small to be taken seriously and had a drink taken off me at 21 in Walsall - by then I had a WRAF ID card with DOB.
Used to walk up St Matthew's hill quite often as I had relatives in Tantarra St, Chuckery Rd, Walsingham St and Moncrieffe St. It was either the hill, Ablewell St or a walk through the Arboretum to Crabtrees and then to whoever we were going to see.
Pleck Park was Edward Shelley's games area until they decided the cars needed the area more and took it for the M6. St John's was Edward Shelley's church for Christmas and Easter.
I went to Fellows Park but also Villa. Knew a family lived near you the Woods.
Been to Mellish Church, knew people in Borneo St.
When we had a caravan we stayed at the Caravan Club Site near Scarborough.
I too loved the Arboretum, spent hours in there, the lights were magic. I took my children one year and watch their faces - magic for them too.
We both left at 18 then but I scooted around UK for a few years before ancoring up in Newark followed by Walesby both in Notts.
Nice to meet you - we're the Bloxwich Mat Home Musketeers 🙂

When I was visiting my mother in Great Barr.
We also used to take the kids swimming to the Walsall baths. (My mother having learned to swim later in life and a better swimmer than any of us).
We used to go to a wool/knitting shop a stone's throw from the market and again my mother would knit some creations for my little ones.
We would catch the No 51 bus from the Scott Arms Shopping Centre (Grt Barr) travel up the Birmingham Rd and be in Walsall within 15/20 mins.
My children unfamiliar with double decker buses found it a novelty..
Thanks for your chat message earlier Pat.
Have a.nice evening.
