Just joined so I'm introducing myself.
Watch this postI 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.

Hello I am 84 widowed Imobile not very good with my walking.. But like to have a chat and enjoy doing crosswords.
If you would like to chat, I'd love to chat with you.
Welcome to Silversurfers. There are lots of topics which might interest you and Speakers Corner is usually busy! How old is your 'senior' dog? Hopefully not too old to take you out for walks 🙂 in my experience (limited in as much as I don't own a dog but often look after my daughter's Parson's Jack Russell) dog walkers are a friendly bunch and usually willing to strike up a conversation. Hope you enjoy the site!
I have 3 daughters 6 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
I havent ventured on a holiday on my own yet.
I am a fan of Joe McElderry and travel by train to many of his gigs which are great fun..
