[QUOTE="Red Fred, post: 7829346, member: 189"] 20 years ago I would have never have dreamed of leaving here, but with no children and 60 approaching, I'm looking forward to getting out and enjoying a few years of good health. Too many friends have popped their clogs in recent years and I 've suddenly realised that having an " average life expectancy of 80 years" doesn't mean we can all expect to reach 80, it actually means half of us won't. A very wise farmer friend had 5 daughters and I used to think him very hard as he insisted none would take over the farm, but he would pack up as soon as he reached 65 and sell up. He is now in his 90s, has enjoyed a long and happy retirement in a rural bungalow, , and has been able to help all the girls fairly without any of the Cinderella angst that so often results from farm break ups.
