Making new friends can be much harder when you are an adult.

Fortunately, it is possible to make new friends when you are an adult if you know how and if you are willing to put yourself out there. Here are a few ways to try if you are looking to make new friends.
Recent research from the national body, Seafish, has uncovered that millennials eat 50% less fish than their grandparent’s generation. Are we surprised at this? The British tend to eat most of their fish fried, unlike their continental European neighbours who eat more grilled or simply cooked seafood.

‘Devil’s Drum Productions’ will tour a new play in the spring of 2019. The production company will perform 21 shows at 17 theatres in the south of England with a cast of seven.
