Easy talking...

[Scrumpy]

I find it uncomfortable talking to those who are (experts) in many subjects..
.. and use long words..
I don't enjoy chatting with those who brag and want everyone to know what they have regarding property, cars etc...

Though I am a people's person I much prefer listening to those who are just down to earth..
There is nothing better than sitting on a bench chatting with a stranger..
After a while you feel that you have known them for years..

And what of those who tell you about all their illnesses and such a painful childbirth with labour lasting many days.. !! ... Pensioners have wonderful memories..

Now you mention it, I was a breached birth....

Just you be careful about who you sit next to on a bench.  There will be those who convincingly tell you how much you both have in common.  Be very wary!

Or on forums...

I don't go around looking for benches so I can chat to someone..
I just think that you can meet some interesting people whilst sitting on a bench... 

I sat by a woman and her husband.. She was telling me that he was her second husband and that she wished she had remained a widow.. and the reasons why..
I felt sorry for the husband .. Sitting close by..
Very quietly I reminded her that he was sitting there and wasn't she concerned about the things she was saying about him..
She answered. 'Nah!! He's almost deaf.. He can't  hear a thing'..

I'll sit on the bench and have a natter with you Scrumps. 
We could even have a sarnie and feed the ducks if it gets a bit warmer.

Well, I'm interesting.
You can sit on a bench and chat to me.  I'd be very happy to do that.
Though better not to tell Marge!

When walking Dageus I used to rest on seats/logs/rocks often and so many people stopped to chat. Dageus was like a people magnet. So were the Sheepdogs I had over the years, not often you see 4 being walked together.
I kind of miss that now.
This is my Clan of Sheepies at their biggest.

I know exactly how you feel, it's a year tomorrow since Lily died & I haven't had a walk round the area since.

I only leave the house when it's for a specific reason & then I often use the car, even to go the half mile to Morrisons.

They're really special Raven.  I'm like Scrumpy, people talk to me at the bus stop, in the shopping centre etc. There is a walled garden in the local park, near the library.  It has lots of benches, some with memorial placques, and its a lovely place to sit and sometimes chat on a nice day. 

[Scrumpy]

Your picture is so beautiful Raven..

I'd sit with you Mups.. Do a bit of people watching..
Put the world to rights..
I'm a giggler .
Egg and cress sandwich for me..

I think I could sit with most on here.. I find people interesting.. 

JBR... I would be no threat to Marge..

[Alex]

I can't remember the last time I sat on a bench  I do find people talk to me in supermarkets and shops, usually in the queue ! .

OK, but Marge would be a threat to you!  😮😨
