Thanks for that. Just lucky I found this reply. It is very confusing. How you doing ?
Response from Codymitz made on 23rd May 2021 19:21:11 > @kj89936
Not sure if I lost you or not. Really gets annoying. Let me know if you wanna chat further. After Call the Midwife of course !!!!!

Having just joined I find it quite sad that such a lot of people who want to chat are saying how difficult this site is to access. There are far too many options and once people introduce themselves ...as I did...it is nigh impossible to get back to the same spot you were in. Not everyone is looking to just link up with one person then go ‘off grid’ some of us are just looking for someone to chat to for an hour or so I’m not sure if I will continue to sign in here So disappointing. However I appreciate not everyone will share my views and hope most of you are enjoying the site

Hi Rhyll. How did you end up in a town without knowing anyone. I admire your sense of adventure and courage to go out where you don't know anyone. Anyway, just curious about how you ended up where you are.

Anyway, I'm in Hawaii and have lived here all my life. Traveled on business to different parts of the U.S. for meetings over the years, but never lived anywhere else.

Just thought I would take a moment to respond to you Giovanni. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Where are you located? Toronto is not the City it was before the pandemic but I do hope that this summer we’ll be back to some kind normalcy. Hope you’ve had some response from others and you have found a few people to chat with.

Hi, I new to the group, recently widowed and looking to chat. I live in New Zealand.
Response from Niftychat made on 28th Mar 2021 20:59:56
Hi, I am currently nursing my husband at home, but he is on the pathway which will not be too long now. I will struggle afterwards, as due to my previous jobs I have been unable to form friendships with other women. Now I suppose would be a good time to be able to try and forge ahead with others in the same position.

Hi there Niftychat, I am just two months out from what you are experiencing now. I nursed my husband till the end, it’s still so very raw. I’m taking it one day at a time. Keeping myself busy, but I am feeling very lonely at times. I have a wee dog, and he keeps me going and we go out walkies every day. I’m happy to chat as I know what you are going through, take care. Xx
Response from Niftychat made on 4th Apr 2021 23:21:10 > @JudyM46
Hi Judy, well that post I made a few days ago has now changed, my husband lost his fight 4 days ago. I had known it would happen three months ago and made the decision to leave Spain and get him to his family in Wales. I will be returning to Spain hopefully later this month. Then I am really at a loss, as I don't have any friends there yet. So a penpal would be great for me. I have also been thinking of getting a dog as they are such good company, but also I would like to go on some escorted holidays, as you can go alone on those... Who knows, ideas are one thing, but putting into practice quite another x
Response from JudyM46 made on 5th Apr 2021 05:43:12
Hi Niftychat, so sorry for your loss, it’s a huge adjustment and a big hole in your life. Like me no doubt you will be fine. I am nearly three months out and am coping very well. I have fixed the lawnmower, renewed all the garden hose fittings, washed the outside of the house washed all the windows and cleaned up the garden, all had been neglected whiles my husband was ill. Just keeping busy is the answer for me anyway. Do you have family in Spain? They can be a comfort. Dogs are wonderful company, I have a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, they are little love sponges and great company.
I also attend yoga classes and have coffee dates with friends. You will find you adapt to change and start a new chapter in life. Take care and feel free to chat anytime.

Hello Judy

On Reading your message I felt I wanted to make contact (I do hope I have understood this site correctly)

I wonder how you are dealing with the loss of your husband. (I haven’t lost a husband to death, only to divorce, which isn’t the same thing of course) Am I right that you are in New Zealand?
I do hope you can find some comfort and friendship here as that is what I hope we are all here for.

I love Spain, but I have never travelled alone there. I have very few single friends and I’m also finding at 67 it harder to meet likeminded single women/men who can listen as well as talk as I always think it’s a two way conversation hopefully.

I’ll sign off and hopefully I may hear from you, if and when you feel like it.
Warm regards Caz

Hi I live in Tewkesbury Glos. but came up to stay in Ryll.last Septemberwhen there was a break in the pandemic, Stayed at the Prmiere inn on the seafront. However it had to be said that the whole place was dead. Went to Llandudno for the day also, very crowded . Wanted to go by railway to the top of the Great Orm but it was closed had to bus up there. No life in Rhyll. I bet it's a bit more crowded now though.
