Hi everyone,

So I've tried this a ton of times in the past on an old account and found that I was getting almost exclusively responses from dudes. Nothing wrong with that! I made some amazing connections. One of which has been going strong for over 5 years now. However, I've come to realise that what is missing from my life (since moving abroad) is good solid friendships with women.

I'm a 38 year old woman. Scottish but living in France. I'm arty, into music and the outdoors. I would say that I have a pretty non traditional lifestyle. I am renovating my home, my work involves manual labour and driving a heavy goods vehicle amongst many other things. Though at the same time I am currently treating myself to an afternoon glass of prosecco, listening to the Normal Gossip podcast and testing my perfume collection - Perfume is my current obsession! Politically I am very much to the left. I consider myself to be an LGBTQ ally.

I love to laugh and talk on all subjects. From everyday bullshit to pondering life's big questions. I live with my long term partner, our elderly rescue dog called Moomin and two snails called Scrunchle and Munchle.

I'd ideally like to connect with people who are roughly my age and who share similar interests. Don't hesitate to comment here if you'd like to know more about me before messaging!

I would prefer to chat, message or email at first. Though I'd be up for snail mail and or video chat hangouts if we really hit it off (This is something that I have done with my current penpal - It can be so fun!)

Have a great day! ☺️

Just editing to say that I have received a ton of responses! Thanks to everyone who messaged! I am trying my best to reply to as many as possible but I'm a bit swamped and don't want to half-ass the conversations that I've started. Sorry if I haven't gotten around to you! 💚
