Moving

I think our country could learn something from yours. Moving house is a big deal here.
I live in a big house but have been here so long - 40 years - that I am afraid of moving.
I worry about getting less mobile, poorer and have thought of converting it into flats with mine on the level.
Its still just a dream though. I like the area very much.
We are very close to the town centre yet tucked away from noise and a 10 minute walk to counryside, fields, hills and walkways. I have many friends here too.
I can't begin to know where to look for something in such a good location. There are smaller houses but I think I would miss this one.
Good luck with your move. My inlaws downsized in their 80s and they intend to stay put now that they are 94. They have a downstairs loo and a stairlift.

Thank you both for your replies. Your thoughts are more than appreciated. We found the perfect house, and how surprised were the kids and grandkids to find out that this new house is right next door to one of our previous houses, which was one of everyone’s favorites. All is good once again!

Obviously, whichever country you live in, the whole selling and buying process is far less stressful than it is in England. Good luck to you if that is what you both want.

You're not crazy. I love moving. Waking up somewhere new is exciting. I have lived in small and large places and as soon as I am somewhere I start to think about the next move. I think moving can you make you feel alive. You're either a "mover" or you're not. Lots of people I know love their homes as they represent memories but I don't feel like that. I love fresh starts.
