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.

I am from Lancashire
I live in Lincolnshire with my Partner and my Dog. Work part time and have enough hobby's to keep me entertained for the next millennium.
It would be lovely to make new friends.
Love to hear from you, we don't live very far away from each other.
Bye
skyatnight
I haven't been on here very long and still getting used to the way it works. Hope to enjoy it though.
my daughter living nearby, I get very lonely and would love to meet friends
who are interested in socialising... I love walking, coffee mornings, days out
and just generally the company of people my own age.
I look forward to making new friends.....
This now opens up new opportunities for me to try other things but sadly I have no-one to enjoy these thing with. I am not quite Billy -No-Mates and have a few friends but they all have partners and families nearby.
I am interested in pretty much anything, so new ideas would be most welcome. Thank you
I think that will do for starters so I look forward to hopefully making some new friends,
I was confused by your post as well - please can you put RecLucy and me out of our misery and explain? 🙂
I work as a housekeeper for a nice family and also do the horses there too but spend most weekends alone apart from the odd occasion when my grandchildren come over and stay... Unfortunately i have a wrist injury at the moment hmmm one of the horses fault I'm afraid lol it would be good to chat to others in my situation as i work all week but weekends get lonely and quite boring,
