Most of my friends have large families with grand-children or elderly parents to look after etc and they are all extremely busy. I have a daughter who loves to travel and she just moved to Switzerland with her boyfriend. I'm very happy for them but I feel a bit lonely too.
I'm not complaining because it's better to have nice (busy) friends that you see once in a while rather than none at all, but this means I'm often on my own at the weekend.
And sometimes you feel like chatting but you don't really feel like going out (especially after work in the evening when it's dark, cold and wet outside)
I live in Belgium but I come to Lincoln twice a year to visit my elderly aunt.
I'd love to chat with you if you're up to it !
I run and read and I'm interested in psychology, and the news. I try to go to the cinema at least twice a month (and I watch series' on Netflix). What about you ?
Anyway this has just given us a first subject of conversation: "aren't computers irritating"
Hoping to hear from you,
Catherine

Do you have cats? I love cats. I retired recently due to a chronic illness and I've been quite isolated because of it lately. I would enjoy chatting with you!
Warmly,
Frances
Scotland is on my travel list? Are you retired? Are you originally from Scotland?
I live near Washington, DC. The air is tense here with the presidential election just a few days away.
Hope you had a good day,
Frances
I'm new here but happy to make your acquaintance! I've always wanted to see Scotland. It looks so beautiful! I'm in the US, my whole life. You?? What do you do that makes your heart smile?
Look forward to hearing from you!

I'm Lori and I live in the US. I didn't know that silver surfers was in England. I guess it doesn't really matter. Love to chat about all different things. I'm married but looking for friends for me. Husband isn't interested. I'm doing things for me now. It is what it is and we all have to find what makes our heart smile! I enjoy talking to people and making friends. How about you?? Look forward to hearing from you!
You're rural you say, does that get rather lonely? or do you have a partner? Just out of curiosity what's your nearest shopping/town?
