After a decade of being in the trenches of small-child-care and poor health I'd like to start being more social again.

I've lost friendships over the last few years because I just didn't have the capacity to keep them up.

Anyway, I have a few 'mum' friends but I'd like to move out of that sphere a little bit but I've no idea what I could suggest I do with my friends!

All I can think of is going to a book club together or the pub but I'm not keen on the pub...

My best friend and I try to go out once every six weeks or so for dinner to catch up and once a year we do a "girls' night" away. Sometimes a spa but we've also done overnight city breaks.

I have a group of school mum friends and we do a mix of things. Often drinks out but could be a pub quiz. We've also alternated gathering at one of our houses for a BBQ in the summer or just coffee in the winter.

I have another friend that I meet to go on a walk with and then stop at a café for a coffee.

Walking, cycling, swimming, kayaking..
Cinema, theatre, comedy, concert...
Lunch, drinks, coffee out.
Just having a cup of tea (or glass of wine) and a chat at home!
Art gallery, museum, sightseeing. Poking round vintage shops.

All the things that I also do with my husband really. Other than the sex.
