you would like to chat I am a good listener, and can have a chat about
most things. I love to travel to far flung places, and have been to many
countries in East and South Africa, and am off to Cape Town on the 2nd
of October for a couple of weeks and it will be my 14th visit since 2002.
I have only been to the USA on one occasion and that was when I was
17 and in the Army, we went to Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, I really
enjoyed the visit, but expect that it was because I was so young. Well I
had better not ramble on, so will finish off for now, By the way forgot to
mention that I live in Southampton in the South of England, all best of
wishes, Terry.
My name is Pam and I live in Tennessee..USA... I was very glad to hear from you. And your age makes no difference to me... however I have always had a preference for older men.
I have never traveled out it the USA...I have only been to a few states... although I would love to travel... I have three grown children..a son and two daughters. and four grandchildren.... I enjoy reading... writing... drawing.....and I hope to one day see the ocean.
Thank you again for writing I hope we can continue.. have a great day. Pam
my message, it has been a busy couple of days over here with the
Jubilee celebrations for our Queen, so that's been the main talking
point in the newspapers and on the TV, it has been a holiday here,
lasting until Monday, so not over just yet, I wonder if there was any
coverage of the events on the TV over in the States. I have never
married, so have no children, but I have 4 sisters and 3 brothers, so
a large family. I am the oldest, and when I was 17 I joined the Army,
I think most of the reason I joined up was to get away from all the
commotion in the household, as there were 10 of us in a 3 bedroom
house. I served for 12 years,and was posted abroad on many
occasions, and that put me off getting married, as would have been
away for months at a time. Have traveled for most of my life, even
after I left the Army, have been lucky to have visited 42 countries
so far, my favourite places are nearly all in Africa, and I tend to go
back there time after time, have not traveled too much in Europe,
but may start to do so, as am getting older, and traveling long haul
is a bit of a bind, and my travel insurance premium goes through
the roof. I also enjoy reading, my favourite author was Wilbur Smith,
he sadly died last year aged 85, so he had a good time on Earth.
I also love nature and wildlife, hence my love of Africa, well had
better not waffle on too much as will get you bored, so take care
of yourself, and all here if you wish to continue chatting, all best
wishes, stay safe, Terry.
I was very glad to hear from you. Sounds like you come from a large family too...I have seven sisters..no brothers..I am next to the the youngest. I have been married twice.. neither one worked out so I just mainly spend time with my blue healer ..Diamond...she is my baby. I think another thing we have in common is being animal lovers.
I haven't seen anything about The Queen here....I bet it is just lovely. I would love to visit England...
I live a quite life.... I love to cook.... I suppose you could say that I am old fashioned.
I hope you enjoy your festivities ...take care Pam
sorry to hear that you have been unlucky with your marriages, I chose
not to marry, I suppose I am a little bit selfish, and didn't want to be tied
down, I have no regrets, but as you get older you sometimes wonder
what might have been, but to late to change anything. Forgive my total
ignorance, but is your blue healer a dog? I have not heard of the breed,
don't have any pets myself, as once again, I love to get away whenever
I can, and a pet restricts what you can do, unless you know someone
who could look after it while you are away. My sister has two little dogs,
they are a cross between a Jack Russel and a Pug, they are 9 years old,
and are sisters, I look after them when my sister and her husband go on
holiday, I am doing that in August while they are on a cruise around
Canada and Alaska, so will have my work cut out, as they are lap dogs
and want attention all the time, still it is only once in a while so don't
mind. I live in a one bedroom flat ( apartment ) in a retirement building
here in Southampton, so have the best of both worlds, as I can mingle
with other residents in our lounge, or keep myself to myself if I want a
bit of peace and quiet. One thing that we don't have in common is a
love of cooking, I am next to useless, so eat a lot of ready meals that I
only have to put in the microwave, not that healthy I know, so do on
occasion make an effort. I hope that one day you can get to travel a
bit, I am lucky at my age that I am still fit and active, so I try to get away
as much as I can, providing I can save enough from my pension, and
there are no more travel restrictions due to the covid pandemic. Well
once again had better finish off, it's 5.45 pm over here, so don't know
what the time difference is over there, so cheerio for, stay safe and
message again any time you want, will always reply, Terry.
I hope all is well and you a.re still enjoying the festivities there.. You sound like a well mannered gentleman...I keep imagining your accent...LOL..as for me I suppose you can say I have one of those real southern accents.... The weather here in Tennessee is rather hot and humid...I love winter myself...the snow the cold...and rain...yes.. thunderstorms....so calming...so beautiful.
A blue healer...is like an Australian shepherd....but my Diamond is a bit smaller... And it does sound like you will have your hands full with your sister's fur babies...like I said I am am animal lover...
It's great that you have the best of both worlds...so to speak whether to mingle or not. I can still walk freely .. I just have some trouble getting started...some days because of a back injury. I don't drink any alcohol, smoke, or do any drugs. I think I could live in the water though... I love to swim.
I was wondering if there was a way of sending me a picture of you... I am still learning how to send messages on here.
Well take care...Hugs. Pam

I would love to chat with you as well.

I sent you am email I hope you got it. My email is craxxymom01@gmail.com.
I was able to put up a profile picture of me on here I hope you can see it if not maybe we could email some pictures to each other.
Have a wonderful day. Pam
life so far, didn't get married and have kids like you did, was my
choice so no regrets, took advantage of the freedom to do a bit of
traveling, so can't complain, as I have seen a bit of the world, and
visited quite a few interesting places. I live in Southampton, in a
retirement block of flats, so have company if I want it and peace and
quiet if I don't, so best of both worlds. It's a bit grey and overcast here today, so hope that we get a bit of sunshine later on today. Well
have a few things to do, so had better finish off for now, if you would
like to chat via e-mail, my address is overlander5@icloud.com, take
care, best wishes, Terry.
I agree with you I cannot find a actual chat place.

Mark

Say hello if you live in the North of England.
I’m male, 71. I live in Kansas, The Land of Oz. I’m far from Chesterfield, but at least I don’t smoke. I hope you had a nice weekend.
Dennis
How very nice to meet you. The weather is cool in Kansas. I’ve been using the wood stove to heat the house. I haven’t turned the propane on yet. The cats love to sit in front of the fire. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
