Renovating at 67 & 76 years old

Isn’t it great that practically every reply on here to’Nanz* has been enthusiastic and encouraging?
We have to do the things in life which bring us joy while we can, don’t we?
Life has a nasty habit of throwing hand grenades at us.
I thought it was a holiday home you were renovating but I see you will be living there.
I wonder if you sold your home in the UK ? I’m guessing so as you mentioned having lived in Canada for a while.
I too would love to see the photos when you get a chance.

I'm looking forward to seeing your project develop. Good luck, I'm a bit envious ?

We are all awaiting photos and news !!

Enjoyed your post and would like to see your progress pictures

yes do let us know of your progress and photos, would you be able to do a before and after, its obvious you have an eager audience waiting. wishing you both the best of luck. take care x

I think you are very brave and sound as if you have lots of friends there.
Best of luck to you both.

Good for you. Having a project will keep you going.Age is a number. Retirement doesn’t mean to give up life but a new beginning. I was doing all my own decorating and do it yourself jobs until I was 82 and only had to give up gardening when I was 93 because of arthritis.

Fabulous would love to see updates - good luck with it

You are very lucky. Thank you for sharing this adventure with us. I am dreaming now ... Wish I could do it too. I also watch and love Help we bought a village.

I'm glad you've decided to post your adventures.
It will be a good record for you both, and a lovely escape for us readers.
Well don, and good luck.

Please don’t let age hinder ambition. With age comes experience.
If we don’t follow our dreams now, it will not happen for us.
Live your dreams and a little each day will get you there.
I too would like an update.
Sending you love and joy xx

If it works for you two, then wonderful! Very happy for you.

Your plans are my daydreams! I would love to see photographs.

Are you Wombles then ? Great Uncle Bulgaria and Madame Cholet !????❤️‍??? ?‍♀️?????

Good for you. So wish I had the ability and the oomph to do similar. Would love to follow your progress. Are you on Instagram?

Sounds really exciting Nanz I’d love to follow your progress!

Wow sounds wonderful. Please try to learn the language- you can miss so much if someone has to translate everything. I'm looking forward to your blog, good luck to you both.

Wow! Definitely sounds exciting. Have you got residency rights given you can only stay 90 days out of 180 as UK no longer allowed longer since Brexit? I assume you have health insurance as EHIC only valid until it expires. Good luck!

This is the kind of thing that keeps people young in their souls and body. I think it wonderful that you are doing this. Would love to see photos

What a splendid idea. All the best to you. Looking forward to the photos.

Love this and yes do post photos.Are You watching I bought a village?

Good Luck!

Go for it ,it will keep you young and active we love renovating

Brilliant! Please post photos.

That's no age!! As long as you keep yourselves fit you shouldn't have a problem. Go for it
