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.

Hello everyone! I have always wanted a pen pal. My grandmother had several from all over the world. So I hope I could connect with people all over the world myself. I'm a very simple person, I enjoy just being myself. I would love to travel someday a little more. I bought a red VW bug it's so me. So do you just email on here or write letters by mail. Either way I am sure it will be interesting.

Sorry I was fixing dinner while texting, so I'm back. I am a 65 years young lady. A little young at heart, my favorite things to do is growing things. Seeing things grow is wonderful. I love roses and I haven't seen a flower I didn't like. Well it's almost dinner time I have to go!

Well I believe I must be the oldest person/female on this site! You are all so YOUNG!
I am in my late Eighties but still have all my faculties (touch wood). I love reading, computers, watching TV thrillers ,trying to do some creative writing, cats, and my family.

Have had quite a few pen friends over the years but alas, have "lost" practically all of them. Still have one who jots down her thoughts on a daily basis and makes me laugh. We keep in constant touch.

Live in Dorset and have just moved to a flat nearer to civilisation. Really like it here.

Anyone interested in writing to me?

I am 51 myself, but care for my Mom who is 85. She has been a great penpal to family & friends her whole life....but a lot have passed. She loves to send cards with short notes, comics, things she clips out of magazines n such, & more but needs more snail mail pals. She loves nature & animals & cares so much for others. Anyone out there, we would love to hear from you!

Good evening and welcome to the site to both of you , I hope you will make lots of new friends with the same interest as you

Hi Eirlys,

I love to write - I am trying to finish a novel- but always want someone I can write to. I like beautiful films, making things with my hands, and if I were allowed a cat in my flat I'd be extremely happy.

You think you may be the oldest member on this site, and I think I may be the youngest...I am not yet 30! I didn't realise the community I had joined when I went looking for pen pals, but I'm hoping to make friends. I think you seem very interesting and engaging, and would love to hear more about you.

Hi folks, I live in Scotland near Glasgow. I am 72 years of age and been widowed for 11 years.
My best friend died in the summer and I would like to make new friends. I enjoy corresponding.
I am very much a people person. I enjoy travelling and since my husband died I have travelled extensively.
I am told I am young for my age. Hoping I can find a pen pal from this group to become good friends with, male or female

My name is Brenda. Lived in Bridlington since 2017. I would like to hear from anyone living in Brid or round about. Take care. Bren.
Response from Rickwg made on 19th Nov 2019 07:59:26
Good Morning Brenda, I live in Stoke on Trent, I hate to say it but I am disabled and living in a Nursing home. I don’t have many friends, I don’t want you to feel sorry for me. I just want someone to have contact with. Does that make sense ? I hope I have not put you off.

All I am looking for is a pen pal.

Richard

Hello, At the top of my bucket list is a visit to the Scottish Highlands. The photos I’ve seen of the Highlands on the Internet are so amazingly beautiful! I spoke to a woman several years ago who had been to Scotland,, and she said that Scotland is so much like Maine (USA) that there’s no reason to go there. I totally disagree. I’ve been reading a great deal about many beautiful places in Scotland. My challenge now is to decide the best time to go. It would be wonderful to see few tourists on the NC 500! Too late! The secret is out!

Found this site and it looks so interesting, a way to meet and chat with other people around the world. I am in Australia, I am 68 yrs old, female semi retired. 4 children grown up and all have their own families now. I love to dance, read, sew and keep potted plants on my balcony. I work part-time in Aged care and Disability.
Cheers Louise

Hi Alfred,
Saw your post and you wanted to talk to ladies in your age group. I am 68, but not an old lady yet. Love to chat to you, where exactly is the 'south coast' in relation to London ? I actually live in Australia, not yet been to England but I would love to one day.

Hi Everyone,
I’ve been dipping in and out of this site for several years but like other people say it can be rather “slow” on here and my inbox always remains empty.......... was it something I said, or maybe didn’t say?
Before I finally give up let’s see if anyone fancies the odd chatty message or email!
Response from PatriciaB96 made on 14th Jul 2019 15:49:01
Good afternoon , things arevery slow on here , it may take time for people to respond to your post , try and keep on looking , you may getots of answers very quickly , good luck
Response from VegaLyra made on 15th Jul 2019 11:02:27
