I'm a 69 year old widow, this is my tenth year of being alone. When my husband died I had to downsize from our large rural property, and I am now in a very quiet surburban side street in the same coastal village in Northumberland. I feel very safe here and know most people by sight, but I am so bored. I have lost my confidence driving, and get the bus regularly rather than drive, the bus stop is a ten minutes walk away.
I am thinking of moving. Does anyone know the villages just outside Durham please? I'd like to be able to get a bus into Durham easily.
