Thank you to everyone for your lovely supportive comments on my last post. I have now deleted it because I don't want it to be part of my diary. I want to be hopeful not hopeless 👍
Poor G's health has taken a downward spiral over the last 18 months and he is finding that stairs are not the ideal thing to cope with so we are, hopefully, moving to a bungalow. As I have a lot to sort out (yes, me... G leaves all paperwork and phone calls to me 😳) I will be taking a blogging break. I'll still be lurking, reading other blogs and commenting though.
Until then, take care and stay safe wherever in the world you happen to be x
Sorry to hear thatG's health is deteriorating which seems to point to another house move, but I was wondering if it might be easier to install a stairlift into your present home. They can be bought on eBay at a much lower price than new ones, or even rented/hired. Might be worth some research? Whatever you do, I wish you well and hopefully you might be able to pop into your blog now and again.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rambler, but we need somewhere quieter and within easy walking distance of the shops. A move is inevitable, I think.
DeleteThinking of you both. A bungalow sounds lovely but whatever you decide to do and wherever you are I'm sending love and hugs. Will miss you for now but will be happy when you are back and feeling ready to blog with us all again xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Beverley, I will be back now and again with updates xx
DeleteThinking of you both. We're grateful to be living in a bungalow now - hope you fun the right place quickly
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angela, I hope you are settling in to your new home nicely.
DeleteI hope you find what you are searching for, we love our bungalow, neighbour not included, but who knows maybe we will get lucky.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed you do, Marlene, and thanks so much for your good wishes.
DeleteTake care of yourselves and hope you find a bungalow quickly with nice neighbours. XXXXX
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Maureen xxx
DeleteHere's hoping you find a little bungalow that ticks all your boxes! (Nice neighbours a must)!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mrs LH, fingers crossed!
DeleteWishing you all the best as you once again start a new adventure, hopefully you will find a new home quickly.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lorraine, your good wishes are very welcome.
DeleteYes, stairs are difficult but we have 2 stair lifts. One for the main stairs and one up to the bedrooms.
ReplyDeleteWe would ideally love a bungalow but I think they will take us out of here feet first, lol

Oh dear, Briony, I thought that would be the case for us but it was not to be!
DeleteI hope all goes well for you and G. Sending lots of love and best wishes. Hope you will be back before too long. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much xx
DeleteHope you find a lovely bungalow with nice neighbours where you will be happy together : )
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Jo xx
DeleteYes, it sounds as though you are going to be very busy over the next couple of months, take care. Single level living has a lot of advantages, but I keep my 'stair legs' by going upstairs for a cup of coffee at our local Booths ... well that's my excuse 😃
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a very good plan!
DeleteWishing you both well, and good luck with your search. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Marlene xx
DeleteBecause they fitted a wet room here , we are now stuck here till the day he dies at which point i will get 6 weeks grace to move out ..ho hum . Every council has different policies ours are just mean
ReplyDeleteOh dear, Kate, that's not a comforting prospect. 6 weeks is simply not enough :(
DeleteI am sorry to read that G's health has deteriorated. You take care and I hope your search goes well.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thank you so much Jackie x
DeleteWow, I'm sorry you have to move. That's so stressful. I'm also sorry that your husband's health has deteriorated. Life can be very difficult during these transitions. I have kept my cottage for these very reasons. I know that stairs can become very difficult or impossible. Best of luck to you...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Stephenie, I'm hoping that peace & quiet will help us both once the move has been sorted too. We could have installed a stair lift sometime in the future but we would still have had the problem of a disrespectful neighbour. We don't need that x
DeleteSending a covid secure hug...be strong. x
ReplyDeleteThank you so much x
