Re: Do you like where you live?
Well, we are one and a half miles up a single track road. We have a hill farm and I just feel so lucky. Loads of space to walk dogs and roam about in. Fantastic views and plenty of space.Bit tricky sometimes getting down to the viliage in winter but I can live with that. Unfortunately our village is not brilliant. One decent pub restaurant, a hairdresser and a few shops.
I hope never to leave here but of course, perhaps when older and unable to drive - who can say.

My elder daughter has got me this far but returns home to Hampshire later today - help! Once she has gone, you might never hear from me again

Currently it's fine - MIL has her own bed sitting room and en suite; but I can see a time in the future if and when OH and I are on our own when we would want something smaller and with a smaller garden. If anything happened to OH, I would definitely want to move.
was so glad when we moved her. at the moment we love it, been here 18months so far, got a few good friends here, some where to walk the dog, but if the council get their own way they want to build new houses right where we take the dogs out.
so if that foes ahead i will want to move. if i wanted to live in the middle of a housing estate i would do.
but if i had my own way it would be a choice of 3 places.
yorkshire (west) got friends there. wales but only rural. or back where i was born scotland. but again rural.
we have done about 13 moves in 12 yrs. so know the drill pretty well by now.
