What is the age range of your friends ?

I am definitely the oldest at 82 and always seem to have been.
My best friend strangely is my GD who will be 21 next week, her friends are very kind to me and I go out for meals with them, but would only see them with her.
I don't have many close friends now but the ones I do are in their mid/late 70's or just 80.

My closest friends are the ones I went to school with, we were in the same year, so literally months apart, mid sixties. Other than that I've got a friend from ante natal days, a bit older than me, a couple of friends, one an old work colleague about six years younger, a few "mums at the school" a couple younger, one definitely older. That's about it!

Those I count as real friends 48-79

Most of my friends are a few years younger than me or a similar age. I have 1 older. I am a young 73.

Good question, kate.

My friends tend to be from waiting at the school gate when the children were small so ate all around my age.

I have made good friends while volunteering so I have friends aged from 40 (ish) upwards - the oldest (and most glamorous) is almost 73!

Our neighbours are around our age apart from our immediate next door neighbour who was at school with DD2 and whose Mum I know.

We are lucky that in our village is lively with lots of young people. We moan about all the new building going on on the outskirts but they do bring younger people in.

I am a big believer in having lots of younger people around.

My best friend for over 30 years is the same age as me as are my other friends. My youngest is my daughter followed closely by my god daughter. I class them as friends as we share lots and do 'stuff' together.

I have one friend in her 50s, and all the rest are 60s and 70s. (I am 74.)

My friends range from mid 40s to 83 I too was always the youngest but suddenly became amongst the eldest I suppose that’s by living longer and having a young set mind

I have friends of all ages. Some of my great friends are ex colleagues in their 20s and 30s. I also had a fab friend who was 78 when I met her when I was 33.

She was my neighbour and every Monday I'd go over there for lunch. Miss her greatly.

I think I tend to get on better with younger people as a rule. I have noticed my Mum friends that I've grown old with seem to have become stuck in conversations about their new cars and home extensions, which bore me rigid.

I'd say my best friend is a woman of 38.

And a couple of close chums who are my age.

I have friends aged from mid 30's to 70's. I'm 54.

Now I am no longer working, my friends tend more to be around my age. I think the youngest close friend is 10 years younger, at 61, and the oldest are 10+ years older in their early 80’s.
