It is very interesting that to my request for friends...both male and female...I received just one positive response.

It was very kind of the sixty something elderly gentleman to let me stay in his Council apartment of one room, but when he said we could spend my time in London having a wonderful time in his bed, I lost interest.

Does anyone really think I would spend 3 months wages on a trip, to spend it in someone's single bed?

Now if that was Sir Paul, or Rex Harrison, or even Tom Cr  more...

Now if that was Sir Paul, or Rex Harrison, or even Tom Cruise, I could feel tempted. I could even handle a luxury yacht, a dungeon in a medieval castle, or a high rise apartment with the bed overlooking the harbour or with views to France....

Dream on Maggi....

What I was hoping to find was a friend like other friends I have met online that have stayed. I met Cherie via Ticke and am visiting her in Texas for the second time. I met Rita in Berlin, through another friend site, and am visiting her for the third time.
And I am visiting another artist friend I met through Tickle in Hungary, and the wife of a teacher friend in Korea is teaching in Romania.

I have a friend in London, but she will be in Australia this trip, and there is Corinne in Nottingham who I shall visit if possible...but now I just have one day...then I go to Europe.

When you get to over 50, it is often the same sex friendships that give most pleasure, as they are based on mutual interests and mutual respect. I am looking forward to meeting other people who may be like me...open to a friendship of either sex..

Friendship with a male seems to imply 'instant sex' and to me, that cannot be considered unless there is a strong attraction between two people and a mutual desire and feeling.

Please don't write inviting me to your bed...unless you know we can share funtimes together first too...It would be wonderful to eventually find love, but in the meantime, I am very happy to find friends.....of both sexes less...

I have read all your blogs from Jan 07 to Aug 07 and agree entirely with your comments. I found them fun,entertaining and good reading. I am not a blogger myself, and even if I don't receive replies I find your writing is most excellent. Please don't stop blogging.
