Seeking penpal & Chat

Hello, I am 55 year old retired woman with lots of free time on my hands. I have lived alone for the past two years.


I would love to have penpals and possibly someone to chat with.

Seeing a lot of older people here retired and enjoying the rest of their life or those planning to retire is such a great feeling that there is more to life and that living it to the fullest is just the right way to start.

Thanks for your reply, yes I would like to write. Unfortunately I'm just getting ready to leave home to accompany a family member to a medical appointment. But I will sit and write more once I'm back home and settled

Hi, I'm in good ol OZ and I'm always up for a chat. Brisbane is currently going thru a hot spell. It hit 37 degrees today so I went to Southbank for a well earned swim. Santa never really comes to Qld, he'd die of heat stroke.

Hi Blue2, hope that you find some people to chat with. I know that this site
can be a bit confusing I found that when I joined.
I am male 76 years young haha and live in Hampshire, was up in the North
West last year, but moved back here in the summer.
Am here most days, as am chatting to others in the chat room. So feel free
to chat, all best wishes, Terry.
Response from Brisbaneoutbound made on 8th Dec 2024 11:55:55
A new week begins. I might go for a bike ride if it's not too hot.
Response from soloman made on 8th Dec 2024 12:20:10
Hi Blue2, Yes very cold and windy here as well, I was in Wigan, so not far
from you, am now in the South nearer to siblings.
You can open a chat by just scrolling down to chat room, then you can chat to people on a one to one basis without other’s viewing it.
Hope you find it, yes wrap up warm, and take care, Terry.

Good morning from dismal Anglesey. I note that you're in Hampshire, I'm originally from Southampton but moved here 22 yrs ago. We're a similar era, so I wonder if we frequented the same venues in the 60's? I love listening to Boom Radio and singing along (very badly!). It keeps me and my little dachshund company after being widowed 2 yrs ago. My daughter and her family are still in Southampton, so I'm spending Xmas there.
Response from soloman made on 20th Dec 2024 17:14:07 > @VanessaR1
Hi VanessaR1, yes it’s me Terry, am back in Southampton, having moved
here in August, after spending one year in Wigan, Lancs.
Have never been to Anglesey, my father was born just outside of Swansea,
so am half Welsh haha.
My retirement flat is on the Winchester Road, so your daughter will know
the area probably. The Christmas market is on until the 5th January so you
will have a chance to see it, ( bring plenty of money, things there are not
cheap ) so enjoy the rest of your evening, and have a wonderful Xmas with
your daughter, all best wishes, Terry. PS I was born in Reading Berkshire, so
did not visit the venues you mentioned, spent most of the sixties in the
Army, mostly abroad.
Response from VanessaR1 made on 7th Feb 2025 14:44:42 > @soloman
Sorry! Only just found your reply! I had a good Xmas in Southampton and agree about the prices in the Market. Cost me a small fortune for some fudge my grandson wanted.
I’ve just returned from a cruise round the Canaries. Lovely to escape the UK in January! It’s the ideal way to travel as a solo with others to meet up with in the same position. I flew from Manchester to Tenerife to join the ship. However, I have also sailed from Southampton to the Fiords. Ideal for me as my daughter can drop me at the port.
I note you were in the Army, I was in the Air Force 1969-1973 and trained as a nurse. Spent some of my time in Germany at RAF Wegberg.
Hope you’re keeping well and also had a good Xmas
Regards Vanessa
Response from soloman made on 8th Feb 2025 18:51:52 > @VanessaR1
Hi once again Vanessa, thank you for your message, am so pleased to hear that you enjoyed Christmas with your daughter in Southampton, and
that you have also had a winter cruise in the Mediterranean, I would like
to go on my first cruise, but find the single supplement a bit of a bind.
It seems that you traveled on your cruise as a solo passenger, maybe you
could give me some advice as regards cruise lines? Hope that you have
settled back into life at home in Anglesey. I had a quiet Christmas, had a
couple of days at my sisters in Basingstoke, but stayed in my flat most
of the holiday, we had a get together in our lounge, and we all brought
something for the table, had a bit of a laugh, and some good food, I
don’t drink, but I bought some alcohol free grape juice, quite nice taste.
Well I hope the New Year is good to you, and it would be nice if you could
keep in touch, until then, take care, all best wishes, Terry.
Response from VanessaR1 made on 11th Feb 2025 09:35:59 > @soloman
Sorry, I keep losing this thread! There must be an easier way! I travel with P&O but evenso it's costly as a solo. I'm not sure I'll manage to afford another one. We had the alcohol free wine to as I'm not supposed to drink with one of my heart medications. I had a heart attack last summer but I'm fine now. My daughter and family are coming to anglesey at the weekend for half term hols. I .might go to southampton at Easter.
It's a pity there isn't a safe way to send my email address as it would make this much easier! Lol take care Vanessa
Response from soloman made on 11th Feb 2025 19:15:17 > @VanessaR1
Hi Vanessa, thanks once again for your message, I will make things easier
for you and give you my email address, then you don’t have to enclose to
the world yours. So email me at terencewalker1948@outlook.com, no
capitals, hope this helps, all best wishes, Terry.
Response from VanessaR1 made on 15th Feb 2025 10:18:24 > @soloman
Excellent! Just found your message! I'll email later today. Many thanks

Hi Eloquent 1

I would love to chat if you have time.
I'm not retired yet unfortunately, I've got a long way to go yet. The weather is dull , grey and windy down south. We had a bit of snow.
I stayed home mostly to relax, preparing for my busy week ahead with work. Life is such but keeping positive as always.

Hi, sorry to hear you're alone! Not nice.
Response from Buick29 made on 15th Aug 2024 09:31:47 > @Gazelle 777
Morning from Scotland, rather wet today and set to continue. I worked out of Gulfport MS for almost 15 years, reall enjoyed that time o my life. Semi retired now am 72 yrs young and on my own also.
I can write,chat, whatever, whenever, no probs. I’m guessing there is at least an 8 hour time difference between us. But im sure well manage to get a fe words in.

Have a great day,
Bill

Hi lam new here and am trying to get the hang of this looking for penpals to chat and share interests, l like fossil hunting and a wide variety of music, steam trains are also a favourite, my best to you. Retirement gives lots of time to do what you should have done ages ago.
Response from JimboM made on 21st Apr 2024 20:21:53
Heading south for a few days hopefully may get some nice fossils and rocks, The weather does not bother me i have a jacket, Ha! But I think sunny days are expected. Foxes came in the garden again last night with their young cubs very nice to watch the playfulness,

Hi Eloquent1, I am 70 and live with hubbie. We both still work but only part time. I also volunteer, 1 lady in person the other 3 I do telephone befriending. It's nice as you learn alot about the other person and become friends. During lockdown I had a couple and did actually go and visit them, from a distance just to see who I was speaking to.
Have you got any hobbies and what part of the country are you in?
Would love to chat more and learn all about you.
Best wishes, Raymer
