Kinda lost - is it too late to start again at 65?Hi Paul, I was interested in your comments as I thought it was just me that felt that way. My circumstances were different to yours as I was married for 35 years and came home one day to find my husband had left me a note saying Goodbye I've gone. Now having 5 years in my own I realise we should have split up years ago. After my divorce I've embraced a single life to a point but would like to meet someone for companion ship and friendship. I wouldn't want to live with someone again but do miss someone to share things with. I've found people like that are few and far between, but I live in hope!!ViewDate:

Relocating aloneHi, My circumstances are not quite the same as yours, but I moved from a big city to a fishing village in Cornwall with my husband 20 years ago. We did most things together, then unexpectedly he left me after 35 years. I had to start again at the age of 70 making new friends and doing new things. I've found that even though I live in a small town there are lots of groups and clubs, people are very friendly. Admittedly this year has slowed things rather as a lot of groups have stopped for the time being. My advice would be, go for it!! Best of luckViewDate:

What are your views on TV Charity Begging Adverts?I totally agree with you regarding the animals, as for the other begging adverts I think this country already sends too much money to overseas countries some of which have developed nuclear weapons. Charity begins at home.ViewDate:

Should the Proms be stripped of its favourite vocals?I think the BBC should be defunded, why should have to pay for this biased organisation, they should have to rely on advertising like other channels.ViewDate:

Hello in the LockdownHello everyone out there. I live alone and my only daughter lives abroad. I was going to see her in May but Corona 19 scuppered that, so it's now over 2 years since I've seen her. I live in Cornwall in a fishing village that has hundreds & hundreds of tourists at the moment. Unfortunately a lot of them have not heard of social distancing, so going into town is a no go. I've painted everything in my home within an inch of it's life, things I've been meaning to do for ages have now been done. Even cleaning the oven!! So now what? I've meet friends for coffee, but everything else I'm involved with is off. The annual pantomime is cancelled although we have managed to do some plays on zoom, (once I managed to download it!) I overlook the sea and there are some nice walks but on your own It's not much fun. It's odd isn't it that when you're on your own everyone else seems to be in couples or with family. It would be nice to have children who live near, but life has a habit of not working out the way you think. If someone else is in a similar situation I'd love to hear from you, even if you're not it would still be good to chat. Cheerio!ViewDate:

Divorce and moving onHi, I'm in a similar situation, my husband left 3 years ago after 35 years of marriage,just leaving me a note, . To say I was shocked is putting it mildly. However I discovered as time went on that I didn't miss him at all, I did miss someone to chat to and go out with, however now I can suit myself what I do. I did put myself out and now have increased my circle of friends and joined many things including the local pantomime group!! My main concern was holding on to my property which I've managed at great expense. My divorce has just gone through. I would suggest you trying your local U3A which is university of the 3rd age. This organisation has monthly meetings but also lots of groups covering a variety of subjects If you've lived in one place for a length of time I would think it is better to stay put because starting again in later life is difficult Good luckViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi, I also think it would be wonderful to hug someone again, My divorce has just gone through after a very stressful three years, but I'm very grateful I have managed to keep the property. During that time I've managed to increase my circle of friends and have joined lots of things including the local pantomime group! Unfortunately my daughter and grand daughter live abroad so I only see them infrequently. I think life will be very different when we come out of this and people will appreciate what they have rather than what they would like.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hi, I joined a while ago but haven't been on for some time. I live in SE Cornwall. Is there anyone out there in this neck of the woods? It would be nice to chat. I'm separated and life gets a bit lonely at times in spite of knowing a lot of people. I moved here nearly 20 years ago and wouldn't live anywhere else. It's Poldark country, what else can I say!!ViewDate:

New to this!Hi there, I'm also newly separated, my husband left me just leaving a note saying "goodbye"! we'd been married for 35 years. It's not easy because you've been used to having someone to go on holiday with and out for meals. I've joined lots of things and generally I'm out and about but the mornings are difficult and days when I have nothing planned. If you would like to chat I'd be pleased to hear from you.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.Hello to everyone, I've just joined , I'm 70 and live in Cornwall. I few months ago I found myself alone having been with someone for about 38 years. I do get out and about but find the weekends difficult. I like walking and have just joined an aerobics class!! I live in a very friendly little town, but when you've been with someone for a long time you are inclined to do things together and don't necessarily develop close friendships especially later in life. I like travelling and have for the last few years spent two months in the winter either in Tenerife or Thailand, but again that is not easy doing it on your own. I love animals and used to have two dogs and a cat and when they died I didn't replace them because it's not fair to put them in kennels for that length of time. I also like eating out and cooking, in fact I like food! hence the need for the aerobics class I would like to chat to .male or female, if you live in this neck of the woods so much the better, I'm female by the way. !
