Welcome and hello to new members

Hi. I live in Sevenoaks, Kent and am looking for new friends/pen pals

I've just joined and looking forward to inter-acting with others of my age group.

Hello, I am a 63 year old widower. I am hoping to get to chat and meet others with a similar outlook on life as myself. I am based in Wakefield UK. In 2022 I had a change of career direction and I now work in a Substance and Alcohol service trying to help people fight their addictions. Before that I spent most of my former years working in the transport industry. Even though I work I find myself very isolated and I am hoping this site will help me to get over this situation.

Hello. I am new to this community, so I thought I would just introduce myself. I live in Texas, but I moved here from North Carolina. It is really difficult to make friends at a later age, I hope to be able to contribute to the conversations/forums as much as I would enjoy reading them.

I will be 67 next month and retired from the many different jobs in my working life. I guess that I didn’t ever find my calling. I went to university at age 59 but when it was over it was too late to launch a new career. I wanted to lecture but students don’t want to listen to old fogies, so sadly I put aside that idea and settled into life as an eccentric dog owner. I live in a beautiful Lancashire valley surrounded by hills that demand they be walked/climbed, how could I refuse? I would like to do a bit of cycle touring but a recent diagnosis of spondylosis and some hip pain means that I may not be doing a world tour anytime soon! I’m keen to make some friends as I have been on my own for a very long time now, my daughters don’t bother much with me and I don’t have a partner.I didn’t expect to be so isolated at this time in my life, isn’t it strange the way family and friends seem to forget us when we get past 60? I will pop in regularly and hope to strike up some friendships.

Hi, I've just joined, I'm Tristy, an old dear , but still with it, for now. I have been looking through this forum and there seems to be so much of it with lots of new posts but no continuance. I really don't mean to be picky on my first post, but can someone tell me where I can just log in for a chat or some interesting conversation.

Just wanted to drop a Hello to anyone reading this. Lots of subjects to choose from....can't pick just 1. I'm from SC looking to make new friends. All my friends have moved or passed

I have just joined and am finding my way around, so Hi from Northwest England

I always enjoy chatting with people and reading their comments. I have been recently widowed and so am looking for other people who may have had a similar experience and who would also enjoy chatting.

Hi from north east England. I live a stones throw from the famous River Tyne and a seagulls cry from the coast. Born and bred Geordie looking to make new friends of my own age. I'm a few weeks off turning 59 and would like the last year of my 50s to be a bit less boring than the rest.
