I recently took early retirement and so looking for new outlets to keep me occupied, although I have enough hobbies for that to be honest. I used to have a number of penfriends many years ago but as with all things the passing of time brings us new ventures and time becomes occupied with other things and so we generally drifted apart, either marriage, kids etc. I enjoy of course my pets, though in all honesty they are my kids. Have always had dog(kids) and even ran a dog rescue for a number of years. Still try to remain an active member too.
