Has being OS made you lonely?

It looks like there might be a need for another OS meet in London soon! Dandy-candy, if you subscribe to this thread: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/1244603

you will find when we meet up. This happens quite ad-hoc and at the moment we tend to meet in SE London because that's where I live and as I am organising it I know the best local places.

But it would be great to have a more central meet (we did go to the Imperial War Museum once to see the Ministry of Food exhibition) or go anywhere else in London.

I shall put a date on the OS Meet Up soon (hopefully before Christmas) but please feel free to beat me to the post and organise one yourself first, I shall definitely come along and I am sure many more from this forum will, too. There is no need to feel lonely when there's so many of us!

I am 68 and in my third year of my history degree that I am doing part-time.I love it and have made stacks of friends.When I was widowed in 2003 I had just finished doing some GCSE's and was determined to keep going.It has been a lifeline to me.I may be the oldest student there but the rest of the class treat me with great kindness and we have a terrific time.I craft,knit ,swim,and am an amatuer genealogist.My life isn't so much finding things to do but finding time to get everything in.I have seven gorgeous grandchildren whom I adore plus my lovely family whom I would walk through fire for .At my time of life I want to get as much enjoyment and fun out of it .I had a nasty cancer scare three years ago and had to have a mastectomy but it doesn't stop me from wringing as much out of my life as I can.Next year I am hoping if I can find the time to take up watercolour painting.You are never too old to learn new things.
