First Post for Thornton-Cleveleys

I moved here about 14 months ago and before lockdown had a lovely, busy social life. Coffee mornings, library events, craft groups, U3A groups. All stopped because of lockdown. Have got to know a few people but did not get contact details from everyone because it would be a bit strange to just meet someone and ask for the mobile phone number, email address, etc. Ah well. Luckily I like my own company. How are other people doing?

I am also 70 years of age and are new to Thornton Cleveleys. I inherited my Mums house here - so my friends are not local.

I'm happy to hear from anyone who would like to have coffee with people from around this area. Maybe it could be the start of a friendship?

Hi, I am 80 years old and live in Thornton Cleveleys, I would be interested in having a coffee sometime. I am originally from Manchester but don’t know a lot of people in this area.

Hello

My name is Joanne Mathews and I live on Pheasant Wood Drive in Thornton Cleveleys. I am married and my husband suffers with Rheumatoid Arthritis in fingers, wrists and knees. I only know a few people in Thornton Cleveleys because I wasn't brought up here - I am Mancunian. My parents retired to Thornton and when they passed, I inherited their house. And so here I am!

I was a teacher and my husband worked in the computer industry. I have recently adopted a cocker spaniel who had been mistreated and he suffers with separation anxiety. I therefore don't get out much in the mornings but my afternoons are usually free.

I don't know how to send my phone number without it being available to everyone!

Best wishes

Hi Margblaney- snap!- I was just getting my social life going in St Annes and then suddenly lockdown- I had joined the WI, a poetry group and the library Friends group and was just getting to know peoples' names! Luckily I have an independent streak which means that I can keep busy- my garden and house now immaculate! But I do miss my social life however infant it was! Stay safe!
