| Yes Susan I read that too. That is quite OK as you age but as you get into your 80's when bad athritis sets in and you have a wheel chair or a zimmer, high rise flats are a nighmare.Apart from that my other points were access to a garden to sit in and neighbours to chat to. I am 93 and am lucky to live in the ground floor of a house divided into two flats so feel so sorry for others not so fortunate. I can stansd at my gate and people stop to chat and can potter in the small garden . Birds and suirrels to watch and friendly little dogs stop by with waggy tails to say hello. Breaks the day up when you live alone. Winter of course not so much contact but I can watch the world go by from my front room window. |
