Making friends on patch

We are in Southampton and my husband doesn't have a base because of the nature of his job so we don't know that many navy families always open to chat. Xx

Hi! We’ve just moved from Portsmouth! Im not sure which patch you’re on but we were in southsea / old Portsmouth and it was the loveliest patch. There are a couple of things I would recommend if you’re not already involved - does your patch have a weekly coffee morning you can go to? Is there a patch park you can start going to regularly? - after schools finish is a good time to see lots of people. Are you on the patch fb page? If you feel comfortable I would definitely recommend putting yourself out there and writing a post saying where you live and how old your children are, and asking if anyone else has similar aged kids and wants to meet for a coffee or a play at the park one day. I’ve found the military communities to be sooo friendly and welcoming. Hopefully you can meet some people soon 🙂
