Is there any hope for me?

I dont really want to go out for dinner, its usually overpriced and not that great. I dont want to go to the pub, alcohol doesn't agree with me now. Shopping is just shit now.

So i like to go a drive. And maybe top the excitement off with a nice walk.

Anyone similar?

Awwww, I love Shrewsbury Smile And yeah, it IS a gorgeous drive from Shrewsbury up to the Horseshoe Pass - once you get off the main roads. (Like once you pass the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.) Smile

I’m a fan of what I once would have considered my granny’s favourite pastimes:
Having a drive
Taking a flask & picnic
Finding a nice bench in the sun
Loving coming home and having a brew
Shopping for ‘anoraks’ and buying vests
Garden centres

Ah the bench in the sun. I'm on active lookout for it from about 15 minutes into a walk nowadays.

When I had just passed my test in the 1970s my parents and friends all worked Saturdays so I often went exploring local places on my own . I later had a job that took me to other towns and I used to find a nice cafe for my lunch break . I love going to new places.

I don't like driving, but I absolutely love being driven and going for a drive.

When I was a child I'd fantasise about being rich enough to pay a chauffeur to just drive me round all day long!

This thread is making me miss my car. I even loved my commutes to work.

Oh, I do love going for a drive.

I'm slowly but surely turning into my elderly parents.
