Family

hi clarice,
I'm sure you will never be lonely with friends on this site.
it really is the most friendliest site around.

Hi Clarice! I don't have a family, but luckily I have a very large extended family, but as you say, they have their own nests to look after! I hate to hear of people who feel lonely - it is something that I fear. Can I suggest maybe joining a local group of some kind? I don't know your particular interests, but in the past I was a volunteer with my local Wildlife Trust - you can do as little or as much work as your like, you learn a lot, you can volunteer in their offices if you don;t like the idea of laying hedges and scything meadows! And all ages get involved - from teens doing work experiece right up to people in their eighties! Alternatively, what about a local gardening club? My mum goes down to our local church hall Thursday evenings for a coffee evening - they do a talk and a raffle, etc. Hope this helps! Sarah.

Hello Clarice you will soon make lots of friend on this great site

Hi clarice - try to think positive! As you say, you can please youself as to what you do and when. I do believe we all need people sometimes, though. So try to build a network of neighbours/ club friends/ GOY members! etc so that you can have a chat when you want to or need to. I found that when we moved here, and because we got Henry as soon as we moved, people talked to me when I took him out. That's how I got to know lots of people in the village. Also, we were asked to deliver the parish magazine. It takes AGES to take them round due to stopping for a natter all round our route....Good for socialising, though. Why not have an 'Open House' coffee morning if you don't know your neighbours?

Hi Clarice and welcome to our very friendly gardening community.
With best wishes from Grenville and Alan.

Hello and welcome!! I was really down when my Mum Dad Bro Sis Uncle cats dogs chickens cows etc all moved up to Scotland and I was left in an empty house! I quickly moved into my building site oops i mean new house but found it really hard at first as I had no base to return to! it took me a while to adjust but I find I appreciate my family so much more now! Oh and in case you didn't already know the people here on GOY are so friendly and I am really lucky that just by accident i stumbled upon them!

Hi Clarice and welcome to the site, everyone on here is very friendly.Yow will pass many happy moments just reading the blogs and sharing news with everyone!

Hi and welcome to GOY , my little boy ( 23 year old ) left home 3 weeks ago to share a flat with his friend , I cried for a full week ! I think its called empty nest syndrome , im starting to get used to it now but I would be lost without all my friends on this site It really is an extended family here , hope you make as many lovely friends here as I have x x

Clarice don't be lonely! I can rent you my brood cheap if you like! Well when I say cheap I mean free - for a week, month , the next 18 years. Comme tu vu.
Can you tell it's half term here??? Isn't it funny how we all see the grass as being greener on the other side?
I come here for a grown up break away from the demands of kids and everyone is lovely. Glad to see you've joined us. Welcome to GOY
