We can all do with a change from time to time Caroline.......in our case all we really want to do is see our grandchildren at last. The eldest one is four this year!
But the combination of their mother being batshit crazy, the wife's osteoarthritis and being unable to travel any distance, then Covid coming along on top of all that has meant it's never happened.
And obviously I have a lot of work commitments, along with personal commitments due to the wife's limited mobility as well.
I can't go off anywhere on the bike because the wife's condition dictates that I need to be on hand all the time. Because I'm 8 years older than her she always thought she'd be the one eventually caring for me in our dotage......but it didn't turn out that way.
We're fine where we live in terms of the area and the house etc, but there's other things we want to do as well......but we can't.
If we wanted to move to NL to be near our son there (there's no way we'd live in Poland).......well we can't do that either!
So it gets frustrating because these are all things we can't control. But we keep going!
