I would like to make new friends for general conversation only
Watch this postI have recently moved to a new home, and I feel very isolated where I am living not knowing many people here. I would very much like to make and chat with some new friends. Is there anyone else in the same situation?

I'm 81 - 82 in June, and whilst my sister was suffering, I started to realise just how small my circle of friends had become over the years; for some odd reason many old friends, even acquaintances, were vanishing one by one! So I've decided to start over, and build a new social circle, though it seems of necessity to be by social media!
Where did you move to - and from where?

I have just joined also.
Assuming you mean U.K., I live near Lincoln and also have a dog - a little dog - Maltese/Cavalier.
I miss walking round Lincoln parks, I must say.
I have no family and on my own. Not always easy is it? You just have to adapt, I guess, but it exposes the lack of family at times like the present.
How is everyone coping with lockdown? I’ve been catching up with the DIY jobs - do it yourself rather sums it up!
Anyway, I’m new here so a big ‘hello’ to everyone. Hope to chat soon.

Welcome to our forum! If you're finding yourself lost, why not start by looking at our current topics. We look forward to getting to know you better.
In spite of my ability to keep myself connected and active, I find living alone really hard, especially at this age, when, our options seem limited. Not for activity, but for relationship. I miss conversation, hugs, family around me in my home. I can only get a small pet in my present home, and I like big dogs, so, I don't know...
Would love to chat with similar aged people, any State, California would be nice, and the Bay Area really nice! And very interested in Scotland, as I am half-Scottish. My grandparents were born about 15 miles south of Glascow. I have never been, but, on my Bucket list.
Here's to chatting! Shelley
Would love to make new friends for conversation
