Goodbye 2020!

What year it has been.I havn't been a supermarket since March.Our house is up for sale but Covid has more or less scuppered that.When looking for a new house(nearer to our daughter)we said we would need to be able to walk to the shops.Well,this last nine months has shown us that that is not a requirement.It is funny how your ideas change.We were looking at houses but having had two knee replacements in the past and one is now playing up,should we looking for a bungalow or a flat.Have any of you done that?Advice welcome. Although we have hardly seen our family this year I am just thankful that our son and daughter in law recovered from Covid with no lasting effects.The rest of the family have escaped so far and long may it last. We started the year with our son in law having a brain tumour removed.He recovered well and has some lingering problems which need to be solved.He still can't drive but none of us can go anywhere anyway. Both families have really made the best of Christmas just on their own,walks,games,family tv evenings etc.Tonight Matt is doing a cocktail evening for his family having been boughht all the gear for Xmas.Alcoholic and non alcoholic,I assume.Sarah is doing a family dinner party for her Mike and Emily(15) and Ruby (13). We are just having pizza!I cant be bothered making an effort today but I will tomorrow. So Goodbye 2020.Thankful that we have survived and hopeful for better things in 2021 Love to you all Barbaraxxx

    Let's hope 2021 is kinder to us all. We certainly couldn't have predicted how this year would pan out when we celebrated the new year this time last year! Continue to stay safe and take care. Happy new year. X

    Happy New Year Barbara.
    Buy a bungalow with everything on one level, knees are the devil with stairs and they will give you lots of grief in the future. Cheers

    Bungalow or ground floor flat with a bit of private outside space. I hope you find something and are able to move soon. Best wishes for 2021:)

    We will be needing to look for a one story house in the future because stairs are hard for Little Buddy. I understand the need to be on one floor. Happy New Year!!!

    Sadly for many of us stairs get to be eventually unmanageable. Unless you can afford a stairlift imagine being forced to live only on the ground floor or being told to give up your home because you 'can't manage'. This was most important in our search for a new home. Personally I still want to be able to be within walking distance of a basic shop, it may be difficult to organise deliveries or what if you just want a few items. Think also of the distance to other necessities such as a GP or chemist. I hope you eventually find something to suit you.
