Why not try a short break somewhere interesting but not too far from home first.
I spent a week away by myself for the first time in April. Very relaxing, not having to think about anyone else’s needs or preferences.

If you don’t fell confident travelling alone, perhaps try something organised like a coach trip, where you will have someone to help and guide you where necessary right from the start? Or if that’s not your thing, a Jet2 holiday or similar - flights and transfers included and a rep on site but only if needed?

Try a short break, say to a European city, and see how that goes?

It's easy, I love travelling on my own, can do anything I like! Just done Sydney to London return alone, saw family but also did some sights on my own. And I've just had 80th birthday!

I really miss travelling, but my travel friends either gone now or not interested any more. Thought about going abroad but after the solitude of covid and being unwell wonder if it would be too much abroad and that UK is great when it’s hot but not in the rain. Feeling really hemmed in and want something to look forward to.
