UK HolidayCheck put Leger/Shearings Coach Holidays as have amalgamated now and cover coach holidays in UK and Europe...last minute bookings often without single supplement involved! I want to go on trips myself but can't book just yet as getting over second hip replacement...but seen several tempting excursions! Am back to walking quite well already so maybe see your there!! I am in East Anglia and they will even do pick ups from home! Caro 25.3.25ViewDate:

Anybody out there finding themselves on their ownI've started looking into Holiday brochures for Solo holidays...Leger is a good one...and Shearing...some short ones in UK and Holland and Belgium and a bit longer ones further south in Europe...France and Spain is attractive...via coach from UK,,,so a friendly crowd getting together is very appealing! Sometimes just have to make our minds up to do it....and plan ahead...so sometjing to look forward to when stuck at home alone! (This is Note to Self!!)ViewDate:

Is your decision to vote influenced by watching General Election TV debates?They say "Wait for the Manifesto's to come out to compare" but admit they can even break the promises they've made therein - it will be frowned upon but that's all. How ridiculous is that!ViewDate:

Is your decision to vote influenced by watching General Election TV debates?As stated on Headliners on Ch 236 at 11pm - European Governments are now all under the control of what he calls "Team World"......the WEF Globalists who aim to rule the World - are giving the orders ...but a fight back has begun in Europe as they are more aware than UK. Elections over coming weeks will be interesting and worth taking note of....Netherlands ahead with Wilders already! They know now what is to come unless....!ViewDate:

NewHello Nigel. Deepest sympathy to you - a very difficiult time. If you want to talk about it there are plenty of us on here who have been through it and understand your need,,,,Many will reply if we can find our way back to you...that is the biggest problem....so bear in mind if it appears no-one answered...it is difficult to keep track of conversations on here,,,keep trying!

Anybody out there finding themselves on their ownSo agree with you! Unless there is a group of like minded people living in the same area and able to meet up for coffee initially - to get to know each other...it can be very difficult. Friendship sites need promoting more - as so many on the Dating Sites do not want to spend time emailing to get to know each other first, It seems more sensible to me as often find incompatibilities through writing! And if they can't be bothered to write - well perhaps they are not looking for the same thing anyway!ViewDate:

Any ideas how to start over meeting new friends at 72?Have you considered Volunteering? A local NT Trust site or similar. That is what I have done for the last couple of years alone and have learned a lot from being there as well as thoroughly enjoying talking to visitors and making new friends. If you enquire they will usually invite you in to have a tour and tell you what is involved. Hours are as much or as little as you wish...no pressure...worth a go! Good Luck anyway.ViewDate:

Another new member saying hello!Wonderng if you are back in UK now Graham and how it all went! Seems to be a few people retuning "home" after a lifetime away...will be interesting to know how you all find things now...so much has changed. In a similar situation insofar as living in an area my late husband originated fr0m - nice and rural until you are alone! My two dogs keep me sane...whilst I ponder a move north to where I originated from - and happy to chat with anyone in similar situation. Sometimes as we get older and have more problems the family not so keen to have us around!! Not very encouraging! So - hope to make new friends and support each other!ViewDate:

Pain and inflammationAs Naproxen doing little good for my leg pains contacted GP as wondered if low bone density - had this once before and was put on calcium and Vit D for a while...then had to move house and new GP stoped it and said all was ok now. That was 20 years ago but had problems now for 2 years and no chance of face to face GP appoiintment only via telephone - and he just added Codeine to Naproxen and Paracetamol advice! And yes - to take all at same times! Rings alarm bells for me. Self referred to Physio - waiting for appointment with senior Physio first to decide if i should go for a bone scan or not! And so it goes on! Sent me exercises to do meanwhile as not til October. Some I can do,.,most I cannot! Can hardly walk sometimes - have to use a stick for balance - and it is demoralising. Little help from anywhere these days. Hope you get your scan soon!ViewDate:

Anybody out there finding themselves on their ownIt's ok if there is public transport (non here) or you are still driving...everything changes otherwise! As the plan is to remove vehicles from the roads and make them too expensive to run for the majority - then it will really hit home for those unaware as yet. Towns will become the more residential areas - shopping on line for everything...time will tell how it all works out. 100 passes a year to leave the zone you are allocated to iive in - per family - and cameras that count every journey as you leave and return...a whole different world for those of us used to freedom to come and go here and abroad - as we please. Many of us won't be around by then I suppose - we had the best of times - growing up ijn the 60's etc ...so I am thankful for that.ViewDate:
