    Hi @jascof

    Thanks for posting, the virtual coffee lounge (in which you have posted this) is a general category that we have on the community, where we post about news, games and other interesting topics.

    Our members are based all around the country so we can't be sure if there is anybody from your local area, but the online community is available 24 hours each day so you are more than welcome to post and get involved whenever you'd like.

    How do you find living in Oxfordshire @jascof? I used to live down south, but migrated up north a few years ago :) 

    Do you have any particular interests or hobbies?

    Ooh lovely, what were you doing over in Spain @jascof

    I'm very jealous that you have dogs, too! What breed are they? Dog pictures are also always welcome here on the community :D (though there's no pressure to of course!)

    I can imagine it could be difficult to speak to people your own age when living in a quiet village. Are you looking to date?

    They're adorable @jascof! Beautiful scenery, too :) 

    Ahh I see. Yes, not getting out much can certainly be a barrier. Have you considered online dating at all? Or joining any social groups or clubs? Perhaps there's a group local to you for people who walk their dogs together?

    It can indeed be a minefield @jascof! I met my current partner through a dating app, but I understand not everyone is as fortunate. 

    You're definitely welcome to chat to people and discover common interests here on the community :) Do you watch a lot of TV? We often chat about recent TV shows, especially crime dramas, here in the coffee lounge.

    Have you seen the weekly football competition that we run @jascof? Perhaps that'd be something you'd be interested in taking part in?
