According to Penelope Keith in today's Times, she blames 'all these women in their fifties and sixties who suddenly want their own space' for pushing up house prices. And continues 'if only we could educate people to go on living together for longer'.
What a cheek, who does she think she is? Audrey fforbes-Hamilton perhaps? hmm

After my father retired, my parents moved from a "tied" house to a beautiful new council flat but with no garden. Both loved gardening so within 2 years they bought, with my help a beautiful house in the same town.They both died within 19 days of each other a few years later but they died knowing that I would inherit the home that they lovingly looked after etc.The garden was huge and would have become an issue but they were not around to see that happening, thank goodness. I sold the house as I was married at the time and living in London.
