Shall we ? Your opinions please

I think it depends on how many friends and relatives you have living near you currently. I moved to Anglesey 3 years ago. When I lived in Milton Keynes I was chronically lonely because I never seemed to meet like minded people.
I have found that Anglesey is a mixed community with English and Welsh speaking populations living amicably together. I have made friends and still have a slight jolt of pleasant surprise when I go out and meet someone I know - which seems to happen most days now.
Property is reasonable and the environment gorgeous..
Shopping is dire but you can catch a train to a big city easily - London 3 hours.
Do please PM me if you would like more info on pros and cons

I think a lot depends on the facilities available locally to where you might move to. You are both in reasonable health but sadly thst will probably change, I would take into consideration how easy it would be to reach the nearest hospital for future outpatient visits. Is there a good bus route within easy reach? Are there activities you could both join that would not involve a long journey? Is your daughter likely to move at all ? If you find an area you think you'd be happy in, go and stay there, get a feel for it. Being near your daughter is a very important factor. A friend of mine recently uprooted from a South London suburb to be near her daughter in the Cotswolds. She is enjoying a happy and active life, involved in the local community, and has never looked back. Give it lots of thought, but go and try it out first. I'm sure your daughter would love to have you nearer and it sounds as though what you are leaving behind you won't muss anyway.

It sounds like a great adventure - go for it! Good Luck.

WE have considered moving to be near our daughter who needs aour help quite often. However, she lives in the Midlands and we live in North Essex near the coast.
We have decided to stay put for very similar reason that you wish to move. Where we are is a backwater, little traffic, quiet beaches (if you know where to go) pleasant little villages and a good climate. Evert time we head for the Midlands, the traffic, the density of population, the distance to the sea, these all put us off.
So I would advise you to look for a place you wish to live. As far as finding new friends, we would immediately join a U3A and get involved.

Don't think it through too long,you will come up with reasons not to. Your own circumstances sound ideal,you are not leaving things you love behind. N Wales is one of my very favourite places,we had a caravan there for 9 years and in your position I would move in a heartbeat.

Yes, do it, have an adventure together

Yes, you must. . Especially to West Wales. It's beautiful, and peaceful. Swansea is not too far, and you can join the M4 by Carmarthen.

Best thing we have done! Move and enjoy the new surroundings.

yes move while you still able to..I moved 2 years ago after 42 years in the same house ( I was 67) ...to make it easier if you decide to move get a removal company that does all the packing for you ....

I would go. My DH and I are considering moving nearer to our DD when he retires fully. She lives in Glasgow. Neither of us has ever lived in a city and we don't think we could, but I'm willing to give it a go! It might be a good idea as we get older, public transport will be right on the doorstep and all services and amenities will be close at hand. The big plus point would be seeing more of the grandchildren.
