Hello all, I’ve always loved travelling and little trips out, but I’m finding long days on my feet a bit harder these days. I still like the idea of getting out of the house and seeing people, just without it feeling like a full-on expedition.
Do any of you go to local clubs or meet-ups now you’re retired – things like coffee mornings, gentle exercise classes, U3A groups, craft or book clubs, church or community centres? If you’ve found a place where people our age can chat, do something enjoyable and not feel rushed, I’d love to hear about it.
More general subjects, favourite films, favourite holidays, inspiring people. some local history. A good one was, art you like, art you don't like. We have a monthly book club up and running, we've done a few walks, there are offshoots for say craft and gardening. We had a very enjoyable Christmas lunch a week or so ago. I've met some nice women. The only other women's group I ever belonged to in the distant past, was a post natal one, those could be fraught at times and they were definitely something you grow out of, sometimes sooner rather than later. This one isn't like that, it's nice and relaxed.Instant coffee….advice needed.
