I'm not sure that I can get anywhere. Have no transport, no partner, no local friends to speak of. Had hoped to make some as I came up to my pension (which I think I have!), but became iller, which seems to have blown my plans. Still hold out some hope...
@MeSci You and I seem to be in the same boat. No partner, family and friends in the churchyards, about to lose the remaining pennies I have had to live on and galloping health probs in addition to ME. HOWEVER, never say die!
Sooo how about it fellow Boadaicaes of the West Country? Now I do have a quiet meeting place.
I am a member of here:

It is a wondrous place and reminds me of being back in Oxford Uni libraries. As you pass through the door you leave the 21st century and walk straight into the 18th. Paradise! It is my version of Heaven, books from floor to ceiling, (and what a ceiling!), comfy armchairs and sofas, and...................silence. Plenty of places to study and write. Outside is the cathedral and ..................oh...................and that terrible fire of a few days ago that has completely destroyed three of the medieval buildings.
We could meet in the little Earls' of Devon dining room (about 1600s), have coffee and chat and decide what we do from there.
What do you think? Anyone game?
