Pen pals

I have been pen palling for a while now does anyone else do this and is there somewhere on the site for this? It would be nice to write to people on here if they were interested.

Hi everybody, I am a 71-year-old guy, that was forced into retirement, and I thought I would hate it.....wrong!.... I am enjoying every minute of it.
I enjoy writing, so if you need a penfriend, you know where to find me.
I am ex-regular army and spent many years working in media security.

Welcome to the site, Lenzo, like you i dreaded retirement but like you found it is great to do what you want when you want. Have fun on the site
Response from CaroleAH made on 17th Feb 2019 12:16:01
Hi Lenzo and Silverblue,
Welcome to Silversurfers - lots of topics in the Forum for you to comment on. I also was made redundant in 2015 and have to admit that I cried all the way home! Now, I wonder how I found time to go to work 🙂 I joined my local U3A and have found new friends and interests. As you mentioned, Silverblue, it's great being able to do what you want, when you want. This last week I've been over to the East coast, to Scarborough, for a great day out, Ilkley to meet a friend for coffee and then Burton Agnes Hall to see their Snowdrop Spectacular - fabulous walk through the woodland and thousands of snowdrops! Happy Days! 🙂

Greetings!

Anyone interested in corresponding by email with 80 +year old female? I'm married, with offspring, and am interested in reading, writing, History, computing, and possibly, in learning Spanish or Italian.
I already speak English, and Welsh, and studied Latin on line for five years! More fun than it sounds. :O)

I'm not lonely, and believe in positive thinking!! Interested in most things.


Eirlys (That's Welsh for "Snowdrop" but don't let that put you off!)
Response from Eirlys made on 27th Mar 2019 21:26:40
Should have added. I am looking for email pen pals.
Response from leggart made on 29th Mar 2019 16:50:17
Hi Eirlys
Not sure how to reply by email to you or if this message is posted for all to read. I am a bit confused! I have just joined Silver Surfers when I saw your post, thought you might be interested in corresponding as I studied Latin for A level and loved it. I think it should be taught in every school! I am 69 year old gent with my wife Elisabeth and two grown up boys. I won't write any more until I see how this site works.
Bye for now
Stephen

Hi Eirlys and Leggart, If you press the "Private Chat with" icon you can start a chat just with the person you want to speak with and no-one else can see your messages. So then you can either just use the private chat forum or you could exchange your email addresses. Hope that helps! I agree about learning Latin - it is the foundation for so many languages.

Hello, how can I find a pen friend to help me practice my very basic Spanish? I am learning ( very slowly) with the aid of a U3A group, and the Duolingo app. Ideally I would like to try to write in Spanish.

Hi I am 69 years of age. I live in Scotland. I enjoy reading, walking, going on holidays with my husband, and meeting with friends. All my children live abroad. Would love a pen pal, as it's been years since I had one. e mail or snail mail.
Response from Linno made on 15th Mar 2019 01:49:30
Hiya Ann. This is Linno from Australia; is that far enough for you ? I love writing, photography and reading. I hope we can be great penpals. Australia is in the grip of a drought right now, quite different to where you live. Catch you later, Linno

I've had penpals for many years and still really enjoy getting to know people from all around the UK and further afield. I love to read, go to the cinema and theatre when I can, swimming, and loads more besides - don't have time to get bored.

Hi, thought I would try a pen pal search now I'm retired and looking for friendship with like-minded folk. I have recently moved to the West Country and love the area and outdoor life. I enjoy cooking, reading and travelling and visiting new places. I'm single after a long marriage, am 71 but very young at heart and sociable. It would be good to share everyday news and views with new pals!
Response from SilverBlue made on 6th Mar 2019 10:28:05
Welcome to the site Elana, love the west country so many beautiful places to visit. I hope you enjoy the site.

Hi everyone, I've just joined this site and would welcome some communication with anyone who wants a friend. My main interest is art, I love to paint, I also have a dog and like to walk. I'm also interested in the natural world, in fact anything to do with wildlife and nature. Although most topics interest me, those are my main ones.
I live in South Wales near the Severn and Usk estuary.
