WANTED - genuine friendships

Hi fellow Silver surfers, I’ve joined looking for people who are honest, genuine & who have a real wish to nurture meaningful friendship.


I’m 55, a mother to two adult sons living their best lives. I have a 16 year old granddaughter, 3 year old grandson & most recently welcomed a new granddaughter now 4 months old. I try to be useful by volunteering for Silverline (now Age UK) telephone friendship, cooking for family each week, and I care for and breed Sphynx cats. While their nakedness is not everyone’s cup of tea, they very much appeal to me and, with an empty nest I desperately needed someone to care for and, as they need bathing and are incredibly owner focussed & social creatures they are perfect for me. Breeding has been a journey but the magic of having your beloved pet allow you to take part in the birthing and raising of her litter is humbling.


I enjoy craft & concentrate mainly on spinning yarn and knitting though dabble in other crafts too.


Covid has been hard, living alone, I triple broke my ankle in LD1 needing surgery & 11 weeks immobile. Thank goodness my youngest son was furloughed and living close by he & his wife cared for & fed me while I mended. But I’m also medically immune suppressed making me extra vulnerable and so it’s been and still is isolating .


I’m good anyway at being alone for long periods having been on my own a few years, so that part I’ve managed pretty well but increasingly lately I feel as of my life is disappearing & I’m missing companionship & opportunities for experiences shared & the odd bit of mischief!


I’m hoping that there are others here who might feel likewise & who might want to be in touch with this chatty lady. If so, please do respond…
