Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes, will have some work tomorrow @outlander.

 

No matter where we have lived, there has always been plenty of places to go on day trips to.  Galleries, cafes, gardens etc.

@Adge 

It can be very lonely, particularly as families members have a lot of distance between them for various reasons.  Whenever we have have moved, I have found that there are so many people out there who need a friend.   Mr D has not found making friends so easy. 

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

That's a good point (you made) @Former-Member

My Mum & brothers all live on the east coast (they always have).

There are very good reasons why I came to the west, & stayed here (the past 24 years).

Yet it came at a high cost, socially & support-wise.

Yes, like Mr D - making new friends has been difficult, especially in recent years.

@Adge

Most but not all of my connections have come through either church groups or garden clubs.  I have found it often takes a bit of effort initially but the rewards are there if I put the time in.  Have had a few wonderful day trips with older friends - senior citizens are often lonely - I drove them places - despite their ages we had lots of wonderful times.  

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Sounds like some very good ideas, & good outlets @Former-Member

I love Senior Citizens (mostly).

Some of my clients are seniors - much more amenable thant the young ones with challenging behaviours (& far too much energy).
