Where would you like to live when you retire?

[Echobelly]

Having seen what life is like for elderly relatives, I reckon I'll want to make sure I live somewhere on or near a lively high street. Screw quiet and leafy, if I'm not going to be able to drive and/or not very mobile for years I'll wanted to be within shuffling distance of a number of shops and services so I'm not stranded in my home.

Orkney! Loads of arceaology, friendly people and the fantastic St.Magnus Cathedral to worship in!

My DSis rented in the Barbican. It was very stylish inside but I'd want more greenery.

Remember that grand designs in the Barbican? I think it was an old storage hall or car park (a big weird space). Wonder if it’s still there?
