Like you, I too am a very quiet person and find it difficult to strike up conversations with people I don't know, nor am I a "joiner" so the thought of joining clubs or groups fill me with dread!
However, get me behind my dogs leads and I will happily chat to any dog walkers I pass on my travels, our pets seem to break down the barriers don't they!
Hope you enjoy your time with Silversurfers.
Love all you dog walkers 🙂
It has also been interesting liaising with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission - they celebrate their centenary this year. They have a project in which they are putting notices on church graveyards indicating that there are Commonwealth war graves there. The CWGC do an excellent job of looking after the headstones, cleaning them and making sure that they are safe.
I'm just collating all the information ready to put on a display for Remembrance Day in my local church.
One side of my family were miners, it was very interesting to see how many during the early 1900s moved onto different occupations. Unlike some mining areas there was other industries in the area and I think WW1 provided a means 'initially' to get away from the area. I believe the whole country was full of a false optimism as regards how long the war would last and how devastating it would be on many families.
Hi Tedge, I think I would have been grateful for any work to get out of the house lol.
ElaineK6, what type of dog have you got, are you like me, can remember the name of the dog when I meet other dog walkers but not the owners name, the joys of having a bad memory [its a great excuse] Hope the coughs better.
Sorry good people, waffled on a bit there....

And Egypt loads of time as cheap AI in winter with sun at 25+
Off in November to Marsa Alam
I'm new to the site and am looking forward to having a chat with you all .
Looking for someone to travel / holiday with, usually go cruising but willing to consider any type of holiday. Cost of holiday no problem.
Also like to go somewhere warmer during the winter months.
Live in Bournemouth and can offer a free holiday here if required to see if compatable before going on a longer trip.,
Welcome to SS - hope you find lots of friends on the site and interesting topics you can join in with. I've never been to Australia although I have a second cousin who lives in Toukley in NSW so we email often. Dull grey and rainy here today in North Yorkshire so I'm supposed to be catching up on housework - not my favourite job! It would be nice to see some photos from down under on the Showcase. Do your family live near to you? I've got 2 daughters and one granddaughter who is 14 and a typical teenager, glued to her X Box most of the time! 🙂
