Local Community Posts - who will join me?

Having just found this site - I am a little disappointed that there are NO posts recorded. So I have started the ball rolling with this challenge -- Post something / ANYTHING !!

This is something I previously posted, over six years on this site still no response!


I have belonged to Silversurfers since 2014 and to find they have now set up this community page is very welcome particularly at this moment in time. I have belonged to various other sites and still am a member of some but for some obscure reason people do not seem to want to engage in an online local friendship idea. I have been lucky to have some online friendships of very many years but they are all over the country, we send an odd email, any funny jokes that come along, Easter cards, Christmas cards all online but in all those years only one local person in Norwich has emerged, could it be a better response this time I wonder?

I occasionally look in but since I hadn't noticed any input from North Norfolk I wasn't brave enough to set the ball rolling. I used to live in London, then West Sussex but for the last 7 yrs have lived in beautiful North Norfolk. Before the pandemic I did shopping in Norwich and other areas but right now I feel like a recluse because of having to wear a mask and be very mindful of the dreaded Covid-19 and variants.

Well well, my patience is finally rewarded a reply at last. I have been on this site since 2014 and for some unknown reason people just do not want to exchange messages, I noticed this posting and replied "Having just found this site - I am a little disappointed that there are NO posts recorded. So I have started the ball rolling with this challenge -- Post something / ANYTHING !! Created By Tortoise8, Norwich on 18/09/2020"

this was a year ago and to this day I have never had a reply, it does not make sense! I have made some very good friends from other websites and very many all over the country regularly exchange emails, a few an odd phone call but we have never met or had any need to. This for all of us has been a vital lifeline to keep sane during the lockdown. We live 5 miles out of Norwich in Costessey, I originated from the East End of London, moved out into Essex and came to Norfolk in 1966, so am now accepted as a local and able to go out in daylight without taking my passport with me! Well that is how it was in those far off days of the 60s. If you are similar minded and appreciate a bit of distant contact by email we would be pleased to hear from you, Regards, Les and Angela

Hello Tortoise8, I have been posting on here for five years in an attempt to find local community members but without success so far. Poetic that you have appeared as we have a real genuine tortoise amongst our menagerie, in the vets estimation Tommy is about 100 years of age. Angela and Les are two old codgers living in Costessey and would welcome making contact with you
