We could explore other counties. But it takes a good 2 years to settle in a new environment. I don't think I could take the added stress of settling into a strange county, town or village. If we are to leave the area where we now live, then I still want to return to looking for a place to live in this district , near my family.
MyMan still is not keen. The video I'd made of a possible location with a small but convenient house on the market he thought looked 'too quiet'. He didn't think there would be much going on there! He wasn't keen on having a children's play area in the grounds as it 'would be too noisy'. It was green, full of trees, on the level, a short walk to the nearest village and close to transport links.
My sister thought if we lived there I would turn into a Stepford Wife. A nephew liked it and likened it to Legoland. I thought it neat, tidy and liked the idea of friendly community neighbourliness.

Well, you can guess what I think! Great idea!
Close to London and all its suburbs, yet tucked comfortably into the countryside, a nice little town, everything in walking distance - perfect. I know it quite well..
Quietly crossing my fingers that you'll persuade him in the end :-)
Penny, I wish you luck in selling the house you now own. Everything after that will be a doddle. xx
Thank you both . 8-)
Sounds like an excellent idea to me - and perhaps sooner, while you can both get out and about to establish links....... my parents procrastinated for too long. They had always dreamed of a small retirement home near the sea, but then were scared to make the dream come true. And then it was too late.
I wish you both all hope, joy and courage for now and your future.
