When I sit by our ponds watching insects in the buddleah and clematis, I never want to move. But since the hot weather which meant I was confined indoors, the weeds have taken over and I feel recently that the garden; or house; are too large. On Sunday I spent a couple of hours looking at properties (which is when I found no access to
right move) in the area: smaller houses, same sized garden : within a price range leaving us a bit left over …. but there is nothing. We have our hobbies here, good GP and Dentist, a good mix of age range in the street and the village shop and surgery R 2 mins. walk away. Bus routes every 45 mins..
But I want a VIEW and the sound of the ocean …….. but properties on the coast are too much. We have clutter++ as we go to antique fairs etc., all saleable but it's an effort to pack it up to take. My Mum has been 'getting rid' for a few years …..
I read at the weekend that it can cost £35,000+ to buy, sell, move …….. plus the deposit. The first cottage we considered buying would have cost £8,000
. In the weekend papers are lots of retirement opportunities, yeah, right: prices started at over £525,000 ……… I would want room service for that amount!!!!
With my anxiety I would probably find somewhere to move too then have a dreadful time
. Himself doesn't seem bothered.
Just Jules - your MumiLaw is probably like me - easier to avoid sorting than suffer anxiety about it. Not selfish either!
[I'm 62-ish] ……. is that old enough
