Is there anyone in the North Bristol or South Glos area that fancies meeting up for a coffee/chat, in a socially distanced way, of course.
I'm recently retired and missing the social buzz of working (although I have no regrets about retiring!)

Moved to South Glos 3 years ago and have only managed to make one friend ?, my excuse is that I’ve been working, plus it takes me a while to be confident around new people. Covid has made me realise how friendless I am, so am determined to try and change that. I am 56, married, have 3 kids and a dog.

What areas cover South Gloucestershire?

Sparklefizz Sat 17-Apr-21 10:37:11

I live between Bristol and Bath, near Warmley.

For South Gloucestershire I’d say south of junction 14 on the M5 and eastwards roughly to Tormarton interchange Billybob.

Good morning nanny Jane I have just joined gransnet and living Downend Bristol and wondered how you had got on creating some sort of meet up? Would love to meet up with other older women locally or in in this area. I hope it all went well for youflowers

Hello Bristol and South Glos.
I have just joined gransnet and wondered if there were any meetups or forums connected to this area as I'm interested in joining in. I've got a dog and enjoy most things crafty,except knitting for some reason!
It would be great to connect with people in the area.flowers

Hello! I live just north of Bath, I would love a meet up, not a confident driver but willing to try!

Haven’t been on here for a while. Just wondering what the interest is in setting up a meeting in South Glos now we are able to get out and about more safely (hopefully!) Maybe a daytime meet-up for coffee in Downend or Chipping Sodbury, whatever is easier for people. Please post if you’re interested. Thanks. Jane

Hi Gill
Sorry I’m not good at seeing these posts. How is the baby- not so new now! Planning to meet up with some ladies in S Glos if you’re still interested.
