Lonliness in Frankfurt

Well, I've been here since mid July and, despite visiting stables (drew a blank there and still not found a place to go out hacking a few times a month), trying to chat to people whilst out shopping and walking my dog, I'm still friendless and lonely.  I live with my partner but he works all day and, travels away quite a lot. It's Saturday evening and I am, once again, sat in, looking forward to Dr Who on tv.  Fortunately, I've got English tv otherwise I'd have lost my sanity.  I'm quite shy, find approaching people to chat difficult - but have forced myself.  I don't like crowds but would love to make a few friends in the area.  I had good friends in the UK who I regularly met up with to walk dogs, have coffee and a good chat, went to the cinema with occasionally and, often had round for dinner with or without partners or, of course, was invited to their house for dinner.  I'm not into crowds or shopping but love and desperately miss quiet but fun, good English chat, over lunch, coffee, dinners or drinks.  I love my German other half but am very lonely over here.  If anyone feels the same and would like to meet up for coffee and chat - do drop me a line please. I'd love to hear from you. I'm in the Kelkheim area but do have sat nav and have found getting around relatively easy so I'd be happy to travel.  If anyone else feels the same - perhaps someone (I'd be happy to help) could start an informal coffee/drinks morning/evening or something for lonely English speakers (I know I have to learn but am one of those who find languages almost impossible).  If we can gather a few positive responses, perhaps we could get together?
