Thank you, Sally for your kind welcome upon my debut on this busy chat-stand. Promises to be fun & warm by way of all these nice people chipping in with their own 'contributions' of chatter & experiences; can be therapeutic, too, for people like me who have suddenly found themselves being lonely thru' bereavement. Loneliness is terrible! See how things span out 'coz I'm not used to being on my own. I dare say that I shall find my way around in time &, hopefully, make some wonderful friends here. Back later, & thanks again, Hazel. Byculla.

Hi, all. I've never done this sort of thing before; not since I was a schoolboy! Seems like a million years ago! I suppose I must be the oldest fella on this site -- 73; unless you all know better. I'm in Hertfordshire & trying to introduce myself to all who are interested in being my pen pal. I live alone now simply because I recently lost my wife of 52 years just eight months ago. I used to go to Sligo in West of Ireland with her for donkey's years (no pun intended) 'coz she was from there -- a farm lass. All history now. Well, I won't take up any more of your time. It should be nice to liaise with people in this manner -- pen palling, I mean. And see what happens. It could be fun. And maybe, someone from Sligo will join in, too! That would be wonderful. I'll say 'bye for now; back soon.
