That's such a lovely story - I am very impressed - well done! I can identify with all the emotions you describe above xx

So many amazing replies and suggestions. May I please thank everyone for their kindness in replying. Last night for the first time my husband took me out to a function at his workplace. It was absolutely fantastic - I loved it! Ladies were saying that they will now call me to go to lunch and everyone we met was so friendly and welcoming. Of course you never know if people mean what they say and whether or not they will actually get in touch, but just the offers, coupled with the replies on here have made me feel so much better. Many, many thanks to all xxxxxxxxx

Oh my goodness all these kind replies! Thank you so much - I truly do appreciate your taking the time to respond. No, at the moment I do not have access to transportation - my husband has this huge, old, classic Lexus which he adores and I would never be allowed to drive it. He works in the city and when he has driven me there I have been cringing at the amount of traffic. Although I have lived in London, I never drove there either but I am fine in quiet roads in suburban areas or country roads. Surprisingly enough, there are no local buses either - just the little yellow school buses. It seems that everything is geared to transportation - volunteering (because I would have to get there), shopping, exploring, joining clubs. Yes I could go into the City with my husband and be there from early morning until late at night but, and I know this must sound pathetic, I would be far too scared to be there for so long by myself with my feeling so lacking in confidence at the moment. So it seems like I will have to acquire a car, somehow and maybe pay a driving instructor to take me around until I get used to the roads. In the meantime, folks, I might just watch another episode of Homeland or American Horror Story but at least I will do so knowing people care enough to write to me and give me support. Thanks again!
