Hi there,I’m a 45yr young disabled single parent of two young men aged 23and17. I own 3 labradors, one has epilepsy. I am disabled due to dercums disease-invisible but extremely complex, no cure and rare-gosh I feel blessed-would rather laugh in its face but it pushes my buttons believe me. I recently realised how isolated I had become whilst dealing with becoming ill/disabled but feel I’m at a stage we’re I’m ready for one or two good good friends to help interact and socialise again. I miss meeting for coffee, light lunch, in warmer weather I like the sea air, picnics etc. If you’re close to me and want company to go to a crochet/knit group or choir group, anything really then shout me and I’ll come with you?
