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

Sorry, we couldn't find any results!"
Others appear to have had similar problem - and assumed finally no-one else lives in Suffolk!
Valla had suggested we could be allocated via country rather than a local town...in hope would help.

I’m a new member. I live in Inverness and am not working. I’m hoping to find new friends to chat to.
I’m 65, live with a slightly bonkers collie (aren’t all collies slightly bonkers?) and have a “home-made” campervan which I should make more use of, especially as I am lucky enough to live in a beautiful part of the world.
This looks like a really good site for developing new interests; I’m hopeful that one day I’ll be able to finish a watercolour that won’t end up in the bin!

Thank you for any help.
Chat soon I hope and meanwhile, take care''Sara x ,
I’m sorry it’s taken me a wee while to reply, but your message arrived by email. I don’t check my emails daily & was surprised to “see you” there. A very nice surprise, though. I didn’t realise that these messages used our email addresses.
You say that you grew up in Perthshire; where are you now? Years ago a friend of mine lived in a tiny hamlet near to Loch Tay (could see it from her kitchen window). The nearest town was Aberfeldy. As a 19/20year old, it seemed to me like she was in a living in the middle of nowhere, having no “proper town” nearby, with nightclubs & lots of people. But that was my young townie self. Even then, though, I could appreciate how beautiful the landscape was. I’m originally from the West Midlands, so I was more familiar with pollution than pollen!
Over the summer I’ve been doing more with glass and have forgone the watercolour. I’m determined to get back to it. There’s a wee glass session on for a couple of hours each week, but it coincides with the “OpenArts” times. Typical! Nothing for years then both together - like buses, eh? But great that there’s choice. So for now I’m aiming to be another Tiffany or even Lalique, then in a couple of weeks...ha! I managed to make a very crude boat from 3 triangles of coloured glass. I’m wanting sun-catchers to put up at the window. A juvenile woodpecker flew into the bedroom window and stunned itself. I got the SSPCA out to see it - it sat for an hour. It was visibly uninjured but I don’t want birds hurting themselves if I can do something to avoid it.
Hope to chat to you soon; it was very nice to get your message.
Best wishes,
Anne
