We do have a great social network here so that would make it sad to move. Still have a few years before retirement so until then I keep working away on the house.Leon Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609891995057827081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038987539224858410.post-4196611777031139182013-10-28T06:55:28.957+11:002013-10-28T06:55:28.957+11:00Martine - its the traffic with the extra residents...Martine - its the traffic with the extra residents that trouble me more that anything.

It is sad, and I was glad to move away. Here in SW France there is change as well, but very much slower. <br /><br />Hope you are not to fazed by this new development. I think I would be. xVerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038987539224858410.post-10125560248776291622013-10-27T22:21:46.738+11:002013-10-27T22:21:46.738+11:00Sounds rather 'invasive'.

I hope it'll work out just fine for you.

We can't foresee the future but we can either adapt or change to suit our situation. We still like all the good things about where we live and quite honestly, its a great part of Melbourne. We are very fortunate.Leon Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609891995057827081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038987539224858410.post-70732838954548565162013-10-27T19:20:11.651+11:002013-10-27T19:20:11.651+11:00It's frustrating to see changes in your neighb...It's frustrating to see changes in your neighbourhood, ones that make you wonder if you would choose to live there if they were already in place.<br />Rather like the changes to one's work or profession, would I have chosen to do that job if I had known what it would be like after twenty years?
