Introduction

I decided to start my own regular blog. You may be asking why I have titled my blog with reference to a woman of a certain age…well, on meeting my new landlord at the flat we have just rented, he said “ We hoped for a woman of a certain age so we are happy” I laughed and decided to take it as a compliment…I suppose any age can be a ‘a certain age’!

So enough of that. This year has been a significant year for so many people, there have been new opportunities, sadness, heartache and adjustment as we all get used to what has become known as the ‘new normal’. For me and my family there has been a lot of adjustment, heartache, grief and heart searching, along with many happy, poignant and life changing moments. This has led to the decision to begin a search for a long term move to South Yorkshire, meaning we can be closer to our growing family. Hence the rental of a flat giving us a base as we search for our forever home and also allow us to be closer to family at this very special time.

So that is what this series of blog posts is all about..my thoughts and feeling as I settle in and explore our new home.

It is now 4 weeks since we took possession of the flat, since then we have settled in , furnished the property and set up all the boring stuff…utilities etc. The most important thing to have happened is the birth of our new granddaughter…what a blessing. Zoe Autumn joined us on 19th September and we all adore her.
