How do you make friends at 50?

So i feel like I'm into a new chapter of my life. Daughter at uni, I work part time and dh works full time.
I've realised though that I'm lonely. I have work colleagues and friends from my children's friends parents. But no actual close close friends. My best friend moved abroad 10 years ago and since then I've felt in limbo. I crave those people who go on holidays together as couples and world love to do this, but life hasn't worked out like that so far.
DH is content but quite a loner. He had a sport hobby which he does with others, but they are more acquaintances rather than what I would class as friends.
I'm not that mobile to do sport activities to meet people that way, but then things like the WI round here are much older than me.
I read a post on here where someone was told she needed new friends, but my question is how?

You asked about suitable WI's. Just pick one and try it. If you don't like it, repeat until you find one you do like.

My advice is choose one with a very active and up to date fb page or website.
