Have lived here a year and just feel lonely a lot of the time! Work jobs that are pretty solitary. I do know a few people here who I consider friends I get along with and hang out with, but not really people I feel I can count on or call if I need to. They’re also busy people and hard to arrange meet ups with. I sometimes wonder if they just don’t want to be friends but they seem genuinely happy to see me when we do get together.

I’ve joined a choir and go to yoga, have looked on meet up but haven’t found much on there. I am thinking of finding a book club. I enjoy walking/hiking, reading, nature, music.

I know it takes time, I’m just aware that there is good community around but it feels quite hard to get into.. where I used to live I made friends with colleagues, housemates and through singing groups. Here I don’t have colleagues as such and live with my partner just the two of us.
