Hi NLTID, thought I’d reply to your post- sadly living too far away in Dorset to meet up- but am in very similar situation as you, our youngest still living with us, only been in this area a year, my husband still working. Enjoy gardening,cinema etc etc
Finding it’s definitely quite difficult making new friends in my 50s ( have dogs so at least get to have the occasional chat with people) thinking of joining a club- not sure what!
Why do restaurants and takeaways close so early now?
