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, all.

I've never done this sort of thing before; not since I was a schoolboy!
Seems like a million years ago!

I suppose I must be the oldest fella on this site -- 73; unless you all know better. I'm in Hertfordshire & trying to introduce myself to all who are interested in being my pen pal. I live alone now simply because I recently lost my wife of 52 years just eight months ago. I used to go to Sligo in West of Ireland with her for donkey's years (no pun intended) 'coz she was from there -- a farm lass. All history now.

Well, I won't take up any more of your time. It should be nice to liaise with people in this manner -- pen palling, I mean. And see what happens. It could be fun. And maybe, someone from Sligo will join in, too! That would be wonderful. I'll say 'bye for now; back soon.

Good Morning Byculla and welcome to Silversurfers. I am sure you will find many friendly folk on here. I went to Knock and the surrounding area many years ago and it was stunning plus loved the pubs with Guinness and the local music and jigs
Response from Doreen2 made on 17th Jul 2020 15:20:36 > @Sally - Silversurfer's Editor
Hi Byculla
Can give you a few years.. I’m 87. My husband died 6 months ago, we had been married 64 years. It takes some getting used to living alone......never been to Ireland, but love their Guinness, there is a response from Wilf, I too love the music, but got a bit past the jigs
Response from Byculla made on 17th Jul 2020 15:47:05 > @Sally - Silversurfer's Editor
Thank you, Sally for your kind welcome upon my debut on this busy chat-stand. Promises to be fun & warm by way of all these nice people chipping in with their own 'contributions' of chatter & experiences; can be therapeutic, too, for people like me who have suddenly found themselves being lonely thru' bereavement. Loneliness is terrible!

See how things span out 'coz I'm not used to being on my own. I dare say that I shall find my way around in time &, hopefully, make some wonderful friends here.

Back later, & thanks again, Hazel.
Byculla.

I just joined Silver Surfers and would love some pen-pals, but I'm not quite sure how this "pen pal thing" works ? ? If someone sees this post and wants to be a pen-pal, will they contact me HERE, on this (pen-pal) page ? And if they do, how do we go about exchanging email addresses OR regular (street + city) addresses ? Anyway, I'm 69, but in my mind (and attitude) I feel decades younger ! I'm an avid animal lover, and I've been a vegetarian for 40 yrs. I know that Silver Surfers is located in England, but I live in the U.S. --- in the state of Georgia. But, my mum was born and raised in Hull, ENGLAND, and came to the U.S. shortly after the War ended. I, myself, visited Hull in 1973 --- just for a week, which was way too short because it's such a lovely area !
Response from Doreen2 made on 27th Jun 2020 15:28:18
I’m also new to this “pen pal thing” and how it works, so thought I would post a reply in the hope that it appears and we can take it from there, I am just below Hull on the east coast
Response from catlady24 made on 28th Jun 2020 00:50:39 > @Doreen2
Hi Doreen, So glad to see your response ! So, you're also new to this "pen pal thing," like myself. Well, you won't believe this unbelievable coincidence = you said that you live just below Hull --- well, even though I live in the US, my mum was born and raised in HULL ! ! ! With that said, I'm hoping that "this" is fate, and that you and I will become (close) pen pals. *anxiously awaiting your response'

Response from Doreen2 made on 28th Jun 2020 12:36:47
Hi, Vicki.
It was no coincidence that I remarked I was just below Hull on the map, you mentioned in your initial letter that your mother was from Hull and that you had visited there for a week..
How are you managing in Georgia with the coronavirus lockdown, we are just starting to try to get back to normal, but I don’t think the new normal will be anything like normal living for a long time , do you?
Response from catlady24 made on 28th Jun 2020 16:34:17
Hello Doreen2 --- You asked how I was "managing in Georgia ?" Well, you must've heard that many areas in the US have had an upsurge in Corona cases, with the west and southern areas being the worst. Well, since my state of Georgia is "southern," I'm being REAL careful ! You said that = "We are just starting to get back to normal, but I don't think that the new normal will be anything like normal living for a long time." You asked what I think ? Yes, I agree with you, that the "new normal" won't be anything like
NORMAL living for a long time --- if ever !
Response from Doreen2 made on 29th Jun 2020 13:18:51
Yes, heard how there is another upsurge in the south of America, must be very worrying for you, it makes me wish we weren't coming out of lockdown so quickly
Did you notice a letter from a lady signed as TAWNY, from her posting,loves animals, wouldn't it be nice to include her in our posting,
Response from catlady24 made on 29th Jun 2020 18:28:24 > @Doreen2
Hello Doreen, So, you heard that America's SOUTH is surging with the virus --- and "yes" (like you stated), it's very worrying for me ! Especially since my husband is a matainance man (caretaker, as you probably say in England) at an apartment complex here in Georgia. So, even though you're suppose to "social distance," he really can't, since he has to go into apartments when something breaks (like a dishwasher, fridge, furnace, etc). *I agree with you --- that it would be nice to include this TAWNY in our posts
Response from Tawny made on 29th Jun 2020 21:11:22 > @catlady24
Hello. I only posted today and Doreen has replied and suggested I joined your posts, so I hope that’s okay. I am in Southern England in the county of West Sussex, although originally born in South London. I am involved in horses in particular New Forest Ponies, but love the countryside, wildlife and photography. Reading your last post I see the virus is surging in your area, it is quite frightening and I hope you and your husband stay safe. Look forward to further posts . Gillian

Hi Michele, nice to hear from you, as you can see this is a forum, anyone can join in conversations, this one started with me contacting catlady24 who is Vicki and comes from America, and the other lady Tawny, who is Gillian and comes from West Sussex, I’m sure they will welcome you as I do. And anyone else who is following our conversation, please join in, the more the merrier, that is what it is all about
Response from Michele53 made on 3rd Jul 2020 16:28:39 > @Doreen2
Hi Doreen. Thank you for replying. Hope you are keeping safe and well during these difficult times.
Response from catlady24 made on 3rd Jul 2020 17:07:48 > @Michele53
Hello Michele, I just saw your posting and was surprised to see that you're from NY ! I say this because of the fact that Silver Surfers is in England. Although I "managed" to find this "0ver 50 social network," and I'm from the US too. I live in a small city in southern Georgia called Albany. Anyway --- although I've only "been at" Silver Surfers for a 2 weeks, I've "met" 3 nice English ladies. But, I would also love to have a "USA pen pal." Best Regards, catlady24 (Vicki)
Response from Doreen2 made on 3rd Jul 2020 17:39:27 > @Michele53
Hi Michele,
So pleased to see you have contacted Vicki, I thought I had read you were from York, which I just presumed was England, but Vickie has got you American, will be interested to see where we can pinpoint you on the map
Do contact Tawny (Gillian) or anyone else who will enjoy our chats, they would appreciate you contacting them

Good Day Doreen, You asked about cats -- I have my 3 indoor kitties and I feed 7 outdoor (homeless) cats. I agree with you about the (very different) temperaments between cats + dogs. Dogs are loving/faithful, but cats (act like they) own you. I didn't know that folks in England ALSO use that phrase "Over the Pond," when they refer to the USA. I just thought it was a phrase that Americans use when talking about England. I agree with you --- that when I hear the word POND, I think of water on a village green. My Best to You, Vicki

Morning. I’m looking for a pen pal with equestrian, wildlife, photography interests. I love to walk when my hips allow and I also draw. I have been involved with New Forest Ponies for 40 years & currently own a 7yr old which, with help I backed at the age of 64, I’m now 66. My body complains bitterly & my confidence is not what it use to be but I am not quite ready to give up yet. I love the countryside & wildlife and have a particular interest in owls & bats. I am in West Sussex and if anyone would like to write and share interests I would love to hear from you, eventually either emailing or messenger. Thank you.

To tawny
Read your posting, if you look at the other postings there is a catlady24 her name is vicki, we started a couple of days ago posting to each other, she is in America, our interests seem similar to yours , I suggested to her we include you in our postings, as you can see from her reply she likes the idea, so if you reply to her she would be pleased

Just read the postings between yourself and Vicki, lovely, don’t you both think it’s a good idea having a circle of us, lots of new interests to think and talk about
Response from Tawny made on 30th Jun 2020 07:50:44 > @Doreen2
Morning. Yes, it’s a great idea and always good to meet new people and share interests and learn about new ones too

Hi my name is Paula I am 70 years young and live in Spalding Lincolnshire. I would love to be a pen pal either by messenger or the old fashioned way, letter post. I would be most interested in someone from any European country. I am disabled, live alone, apart from my dog and two cats. I enjoy reading, art, gardening (new thing since COVID struck) countryside, seasides, and my greatest passion is singing. If you are interested get in touch.
Response from AllisonM7 made on 26th Jun 2020 11:14:05
Hi Paula!
My name is Allison. I'm not from Europe but from Tasmania, Australia. I would love to be your pen pal. I love with my fiance and my cat and dog. I love films and arts:)

Hi
Anyone interested in 2020 in a pen pal aged 83 who has things to say on less than trivial topics
who is flexible and adaptable but needs the contact from self isolation that writing online would bring.
Esther
Response from MayaMac made on 10th May 2020 16:20:08
Hello Esther I would very much enjoy writing to you about any subject you choose.
Response from ebrown3441 made on 11th May 2020 00:24:09 > @MayaMac
Great. I am a stream of consciousness sort of person. It will tumble out in emails (maybe).
Is that okay with you?
Response from ebrown3441 made on 11th May 2020 08:03:21 > @MayaMac
Hi MayaMac
Thans for your kind offer to write anything on a topic of my choice. I hope you will do the same.
Did you enjoy communicating with a young person assuming you did. I am not sure I would. Too patronizing for me to even suggest it. Do you think people are genuinely looking for friends? Not so sure as there are plenty of groups out there. Maybe they are expecting too much.
True the virus is making us look for online friends or at least people to communicate with. It is new to me though I have thought about finding a penpal before and never done it. Now is the time for me.
Do you want to talk about yourself (your life and occupation sounds interesting and not run of the mill), and relaionships or what you have done with or to others. Up to you of course.
I have a phobic fear of animals which probably is genetic coz my mother had the same fear as does my daughter. My brothers and son do not. There now you know that I have two kids both grown up and 1 grandchild. I try not to show fear but online it doesn't matter I am scared of Convid 19 though and that is another story.
Enough for now. When you repond I will tell you more and I hope you will do the same.
Take care.
Esther

Hi sorry for belated reply I have not been on for a while. I notice further down you are not going to check posts... I hope you do or you will miss my belated and sorry-looking response. I tend to have a lot of irons in the fire (even or especially - at this time as I need to be busy I am one of those types - and I am doing a lot of pro bono work with clients online whose animals are upset with the new regime in the home and this again will change and separation anxieties kick in when people return to the norm (if indeed they do). Anyway will stop warbling on here incase you do not see this - again apologies for late response. Mx

Am looking for 'pen to paper' penpals, to exchange 'banter' with...I am currently missing seeing people in social settings, miss the chat & exchange - am a supporter of 'pub culture (even though I am not a great drinker).

I enjoy writing, reading books, music (seeing bands), appreciate art, growing things ( flowers, food), country-life, cats, nature, walking and riding pillion.

I live in Dorset, am 56 and look forward to making 'new friends' to exchange letters with. Anything.....be it gloriously worded long letters, or just any everyday chat and I like laughs too.

In the meantime, to celebrate Stevie's Birthday today......"Signed, Sealed, Delivered.....I' m Yours"

What do you think about having a young person as a pen pal? I have some young teenage grandkids who would love it!

Well I have no children so therefore no grandchildren myself so it would be wonderful to connect with young people

Hi I thought I had replied to this via my phone but it has gone disappeared so I will try again... hence the reason I like the old pen and paper 🙂 I have no children and therefore no grandchildren so I would love to connect with young people if they would like to write to an old fogey!
