Grandparenting
I do hope you find someone and some families to be friends with in Clacton on sea I know the area well and went to school there Clacton County High in the late 60s so I know the area well (I now live in the East Midlands). If you have time for a bit of volunteering yourself and perhaps join something like WI you will meet people but remember to make haste slowly - it takes time to build a relationship like the one you describe. Good luck with it.
