flyingdreams's bio
I'm 80 yr old widower and bored! Live in sheltered accommodation but do not like it. I have a Son and 6 grandchildren, 3 of which live locally. My main interest is aviation, I have flown Sailplanes and light powered aircraft in the past. I have other interests and enjoy a chat with others of similar interests. My dearest friend was in a care home but she passed away on 2nd May 2019, God Bless Her ! On the 3rd June 2019 my one and only brother died of Cancer ,may he rest in peace ! I still drive which is a great asset. Depression is a problem but it is somewhat under control. As an introvert person I find it difficult to mix with people. I would like to meet a friendly intelligent and understanding lady of similar age for friendship, if any exist ? A lot to ask of someone, I guess ? I live in Kent, if you would like to know more make contact. Star sign :- Cancer. -

A QUICK GUIDE TO HELP YOU ON YOUR WAYHi Bikergran666 thank you for your reply , your loss 3 years ago certainly puts you further 'down the line' than me. No doubt you have learnt to cope more with your feelings, my losses' so recent' are so difficult to cope with. I am also trying to move within my local Authority to be nearer my Son for greater support. Mental health problems also come into the equation making things more stressful. Living in sheltered accommodation is a great benefit but too far away from my loved ones. I hope you continue to progress with coping with your loss, I have the second funeral to go through yet ! Best wishes to you F.D.ViewDate:

A QUICK GUIDE TO HELP YOU ON YOUR WAYHi Silver Surfers I have not been posting for some time but recent events warrant a new posting. I had a dear Lady friend confined to a care home and a great older brother. Sadly they have passed on within the last 6 weeks, about 5 weeks apart. Its a monumental loss to bear so close together. Can any surfers offer any guidance for coping with this double loss and trying to move on.ViewDate:

Static Caravan SiteHello CaroleAH A few years back I purchased a Park Home, Some things to take into consideration are:- You are subject to your local authority tax requirements ( e.g. council tax) The site owners will charge you ground rent. You might own the home but not the site it is on. The site owner supplies services, drainage , water supply, electricity and maybe some others - they will charge you as they wish. You're on their site ! You must have insurance to cover your presence on their site. Obviously you may wish to have contents insurance for your home. Each site could have it's own regulations for specific reasons. i.e. certain changes you may want to make may require their permission. Oh ! if you wish to 'sell up' and move out they want 10% of the value of your home. So research it and do your checks before you make your decision. There is a UK advisory service covering this but I just can't remember it at present - Mr Google may help! Happy hunting !!ViewDate:

Over 55s developments-The secret to improved well-beingHello Ed ! I like this section as it is very informative about retirement homes. The majority of info relates to home purchase, however many do not have the finances for home purchase ( I for one !)Could this section cover info on rental or part rental. Thank you. - FrancisViewDate:
