Moroccan-Dutch lady looking for positive buddy

This lady (72 years old) feels a bit lonely. She likes people with a positive outlook.

Both her husband and herself have some health problems, but she prefers not to talk about them. She would rather just have a nice cup of tea or coffee with someone, have a chat, go to town, take a walk. That gives some distraction and cheers up; that is what she wants.

Both her children and grandchildren do not live nearby and she no longer has any friends with whom she can have regular contact.

She speaks good Dutch for conversation. She likes listening to music, sitting on a terrace and walking. She followed a secretarial training in Morocco.

She would like a woman as a friend, preferably once a week on Tuesday or Thursday afternoon.
