Making New Friends?

[NoseyNose]

Further to my posts on being lonely and isolated.

I am going (on Thursday) to the local church Monthly Lunch Club.

A three course meal for £10.00.

Cooked by the owner of a really great pub in the village.I have had her food(in the pub) before,and it is excellent.

Someone is picking me up, and dropping me off.(as I don't drive)

Oddly enough it's not really the food that is the big deal I think, it's meeting(up to 30)other new people from the village,and hopefully I will get new friends,who can stop me feeling lonely,and isolated.

The Lunch Club is only once a month,but I am taking a notebook for names and addresses,so who knows where it may lead.

I have already met the organiser,who is very friendly,welcoming and knowledgeable,so I am looking forward to this.

A review will forthcoming after.

I'd just go along to the Lunch Club and enjoy meeting new neighbours - you will probably find some of them will want your phone number so that they can keep in touch.  Take things step by step - you are doing well.
