Just saying Hello

in Start here and say hello!

Just thought I'd say hello. I'm Andrew from Windermere. I had a stroke when I was 39 and that was 16 years ago, left me with quite severe mobility problems, but thankfully didn't harm my intellect much so that's good. I have good friends from my life but most live in different countries ( I lived in a few different countries myselfbefore my stroke ) I don't realy have many day to day friends. A lot of my what I call fair weather friends drifted off after my stroke, it happens. Only true friends stick around when you have a disability. I'm not lonely per say but a few friends to chat with would be nice.

    Mary, by far my favorite country I lived in was Johannesburg South Africa. We moved there when I was 12 back in 1981 and I pretty much grew up there. I loved the weather, even in winter it was about 18c during the day but night could be chilly in Winter. I lived there till 1999 when I came back to the UK.

    Hi Andrew, I just wanted to say welcome. I’m new to the community myself and don’t post much although I do read a lot of the threads.
    im sorry to hear about what happened to you mate. But I guess you’ve heard that a lot over the last 16 years. But I for one mean what I say.
    anyway I hope you have the best Xmas possible and new year. Once again, welcome.
