    I'm about to take a big step too and resign from my job of 28 years. I will need to work too but have a few ideas. Good luck and go for it!

        Just go for it.
        We did, and hadn't even prepared for it!
        If you are thinking about it, you are clearly not happy with what you are doing.
        If you are prepared to do any job, then try and choose a location and see what jobs are available...and house prices.

        No point in 'doing a life' you're not happy with..you don't want to be regretting things later in life

          Follow your heart. It will possibly be a risk, but, heck, crossing a busy road these days is a risk. Whatever, you and Mr W will be together to love and support each other wherever you go.

                From what the adverts says, Coloured Bricks are suppose to be commission free but there has got to be some catch.

                        To go back to the original subject. I've always lived out in the "sticks" until 22 years ago. I now live in a small rural town. There are villages bigger than this. My heart says I want to go back to my lovely impractical cottage that my husband and I moved into when we got married. I think I have the best of both worlds now. I have a beautiful view across the Thames Valley, it takes about 5 mins to walk into fields. I love my house. For the first time in 22 years I will have a garden.

                        For practical reasons I wouldn't move back into the rural idyll. I could live it at the moment but at knocking 70, it will get to the stage that I would be isolated. Not able to get to the shops, friends and the pub.
