There is no feeling quite like being lonely and always eating and drinking on your own. Sharing a coffee or tea or eating a meal with others can help reduce the sense of isolation felt by many living on their own, particularly older folk. There are a number of places where refreshments and a warm welcome are to be found in our area.
