A good way for you to hook up with other OAPs in the Suffolk area AT NO FINANCIAL COST TO YOURSELF would be to take frequent FREE bus rides during which you can admire the scenery by peering occasionally through a bus window while greeting other aged passengers travelling free too. You might well be able to strike up mindboggling conversations with some extremely wise and interesting passengers after the obligatory initial smalltalk. And who knows where that will lead in the end!
