Thanks for getting in touch.Its lovely to hear from you.
I'm in bed at the moment. It's 10.20pm here in London in the UK.
I had a busy day so felt a bit tired so thought I'd have an early night. Too much excitement for an old girl.
If you don't mind can I get back to you tomorrow. Be nice to chat.
Hope you are well
All the best

So you want a penpal? Not sure if I will be ok for you as I am a rather boring person - but I will write a snippet and see what you think? I joined this site several years ago after someone recommended it for organised holidays for older people. As it happened the first day I logged on there was a holiday just perfect for myself and my husband. It was a coach tour around Sicily. This may sound horrible but I don't enjoy holidays with him as we have such different interests but I thought if it's organised, we may not argue about the what to do every day. So I booked it and off we went and it actually worked out ok. Sadly with Covid and other reasons I haven't really had a holiday since. Unless you count the odd times my daughter has invited me along with her for the odd weekends to help look after the children. Which I love doing.
I have visited the Silversurfers site the odd time since but never really found what I was looking for. To be honest, not sure what I was looking for! Today, I came on looking for a holiday for later in the year. Another totally organised one but sadly didn't find one. However, Penpal popped up and I thought mmmm.. give it a go. I think what caught my eye was the similarity of our hobbies (but not the old cars). My granddaughter asked for some dolly clothes and I got this odd idea of crocheting some. Well, I haven't done any since I was 14 when we all did poncho's! So my attempts were not great but she is happy and I really enjoyed doing outfits for all three of her babies. I also love dogs, and have a 13 year old working cocker who is adorable but deaf as a post and I also regularly dog sit my son's rescue Doberman. Sadly I lost mine two years ago at the sad age of 5. Again a rescue, which obviously had not been bred by decent people (this is me being very polite!).
Well, I think that is enough. How did I do?

Nice profile!
Good that you're a writer.
Well done!
(I've written some (very very short) stories for kids .....unpublished).
I live in Perth, Australia.
Please feel free to drop me a line should you feel so inclined.
Best wishes,

I live in East Anglia but have family in the north. If you fancy a regular correspondence we could set up a chat line, or e-mail if you prefer.
It seems like we are now heading for the winter and the cold weather, will soon be Christmas! I hope it doesn't get too cold, with the increase in electric and gas, but not much we can do about that. I have visions of all the OAPs spending their days in the library or coffee shop, with one drink to last all day - not funny really.
Anyway, let me know if you want to set up in the chat room.

I am pleased to get a reply from you. Yes, this is a very pretty place to be, with coast (Felixstowe, Southwold, Aldeburgh, etc.) plus inland towns such as Woodbridge, Bury St Edmunds and Lavenham. There are plenty of walks in the forest or by rivers, too.
I will set up a chat for us and all you have to do is click on the Chat icon - you should also get an e-mail notification from the SS staff. Then, if you prefer we can e-mail and we can swop e-Mail addresses. I don't want to give out my e-mail address on the open forum.
Anyway, hope to hear from you soon in the chat room!
Val
PS I have just tested positive for covid - must have caught it on our trip away.
