I do like the Black Sheep brew but I'll be driving so!
I used to always carry one with me when out for a pint.
A few year ago when going on holiday, security at the airport pulled me for my harmonica. The girl on the X-ray machine wanted to know if it was a real one. So I drifted into Moon River and forgot myself for a while. When I remembered I stopped and opened my eyes only to find the whole of the security personnel and all the passengers in the area stood listening to me and gave me a great applause. that was fun.
I expect there must be loads of people on here in the south.was looking to see if they sort into areas. I joined a couple of yezrs ago ten it wouldnt accept any details to login in.I gave up but I still Got a odd mail soo decided to reply and it did go back and now sorted using different email address.
Welcome to Silversurfers - lots of friendly people on here and interesting topics on the forum to keep you amused. I'm a member of the U3A and I have found quite a few groups in it which occupy me. Your visit to the Millenium Centre sounds wonderful - I love "Grease". I went to see "Mamma Mia" last week at Leeds Grand Theatre; it was brilliant and, of course, I gave my age away by being word-perfect for the encores when the audience joined in with the singing! Have a lovely day with your grand-son. It's either going to rain or be cloudy up here in North Yorkshire. Hope to see you joining in on the Forum soon! 🙂
Oh yes, we are also looking to get a cocker spaniel puppy in the next couple of months, that should keep us on our toes!! I keep you posted.
Welcome to Silversurfers - lots of people on the site and many interesting topics for you to have a look at and comment on. Moving to a new area when you are on your own can be an ordeal especially if you are shy but the thing to remember is that, however unpalatable it is, unless you make an effort to make friends with people then the folk who beat a path to your door are going to be few and far between. So, where to start. Are you fit enough to volunteer to work in a charity shop? The charities usually welcome you with open arms and you would not only have colleagues to work with but would also meet customers. Have you looked at the U3A website for your area? U3A (University of the Third Age) isn't anything to do with universities but is for retired or semi-retired people who want to follow an interest with like-minded people. My local U3A has over 60 interest groups ranging from Antiques Appreciation to Working in Wood. All the groups are led by a member enthusiast and we all learn together. I'm in a Book Group, Singing for Fun, Garden group, Holiday group, Theatre Group and After Hours Group so there's always a meeting to attend or somewhere to go. Do you attend church? You can find your nearest church and these days most of them serve coffee & biscuits after the morning service so you could introduce yourself and join in with the chatter. Some primary schools welcome volunteers who listen to the children read - some busy parents don't have time to do this so an extra pair of ears in the classroom can be very helpful - you would need a DBS check to do this. Hope these few suggestions have been helpful
I've just joined so hope I'm posting in the right place.
I lived in Catterick for 2 years which I enjoyed very much, apart from the deep snow!!!
Best of luck
I am 63 and live in North London close to Camden Town. I work part time at the moment.
Anyone out there near to this area
