Hello everyone! And a big hello from Cheshire, England!

I'm a lady who has spent several years touring the world, living in the theatre and on television and in the entertainment industry in general.

Have grown up children, and grandchildren and I'm now looking to correspond with a like minded gentleman, preferably aged 70+. (I'm a youthful pensioner who likes to take care of herself).

I love New York, and have taken my grandchildren to NY and have always wanted to go back or at least to find a charismatic gentleman from NY to talk with via email or phone. Other parts of the USA are welcome too :0)

I'm eager to start a new phase in life... always looking for something around the next corner as life is full of endless possibilities!

Please do feel free to get in touch!

Hi, I am new to this but would love to correspond with anyone who has the time. I am 64 young woman who loves to travel, read, walk and good food. I live in south east Kent, not far from the sea so lots of coastal walking for me.
Response from Rvgirl60 made on 28th Jan 2020 05:18:05
Hi. I would love to correspond via e-mail. I'm in the US but love walking on the coast anywhere!
It's probably my favorite thing to do in life. I just turned 60 and figuring this new chapter out. I love to travel too. I just got back from a month and a half volunteering in India. I'm a big fan of English history (the most interesting history in the world, in my opinion) and majored in English history and literature in college. If you or anyone else is interested in chatting, please respond. Thanks!

Hello Surfers...I am 79 and enjoy working in the yard. We have 5 acres here in California. I have one Manx cat...he's all black with about an inch long tail...he follows me everywhere. I have about 100 house plants as well a another 200 out on the patio...I love cactus - and have many varieties. I enjoy reading and a good movie or series. I volunteer at Kiwanis - we do things to raise money for the youth in the area - to further their education with a small scholarship...and also ring the bell for the Salvation Army at Christmas. I am a native California, although have lived in Mississippi and Colorado and Idaho. Have 7 cassette tape pals....enjoy that way of communicating also. Stop by and say hello!

Hello I am new here too. I live in California, and I would be interested in hearing more about you. I volunteer at a home for people who have Dementia because they are lonely and they like to have people visit them. I also have my grandson Noah who moved in with me about three months ago and he is wonderful company. Oh and of course my dog Gypsy. She is a three pound Chihuahua.
Well now it’s your turn.

Hi there, have just signed up with this website as I am interested in corresponding with someone in Scotland with knowledge of its beautiful countryside. I live in NZ, still working, but travel over to UK often to visit family. Am in the process of planning a week or two walking holiday in Scotland but it is difficult to choose. Would love to hear from you.

In my younger days I use to backpack in the Pecos Mts. in New Mexico and hike up Sandia Peak in Albuquerque, N.M. .But walking glens, forests and beaches sounds lovely.
I am hoping to come to Scotland this summer and check out some places to possible move for up to 6 mos. a year.
My name is Carol, I'm 73 but most people say I don't look my age. Hopefully they think I look younger and not older. LOL!
Hope to hear back from you and possibly if I get over there this summer we can meet,
Thank you,

Carol

Anyone interested in a pen pal from Scotland? I’m widely travelled, and love remote places, islands. Working from home can be quite isolating so would love to chat....

Response from Thomasina made on 19th Nov 2019 16:11:43
Hello Anne,
I’m a similar age to you, living in Dorset, so we’re at opposite ends of the UK.
I was a college lecturer (in art department) and I’m fighting myself to get back into painting again since my husband died 4 years ago.
I am interested in history and like to visit places of interest in that regard.
In a few days I’m off to London to make the ultimate tourist trip to the Tower of London which I haven’t visited since I was nobbut a lad!
Where have you been on your travels? Do you travel solo usually?
Apart from North Africa (Tunisia), I have not travelled outside Europe but I loved to go to Italy and France mainly.
I like writing, so would be pleased to hear from you if you are of a mind to make contact.
Regards

Hi Anne, I sent you a private chat but am having trouble navigating this site. So I will reach out to you here. I am wanting to come to Scotland this summer and cha=eck out some places I might want to live for up to six months.
If you couldn point me in the right direction of not terribly expensive places to check I would really appreciate it. And who knows, if any of them are near you, maybe we could meet.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you,
Carol

Hi Ann, My name is Carol and I'm 73. I lost my husband almost 10 years ago. Took a cruise around UK 4 yrs. ago and have wanted to go back to Scotland to spend possibly a month checking out cities I might like to live for up to 6 mos.
My daughter recently divorced and moved in with me so this would be a great time to do this so she can watch my house and 2 cats while I'm gone. I would like to find a penpal that could point me in the direction of cities to visit to possibly live and hopefully be able to meet while I'm there.
I love bagpipe music and took 2 years of Highland dancing lessons in my earlier years.
Hope very much to hear back from you.
Thank you.
