Sunrise and Sunset

This week I have been considering two things Sunrise and Sunset.
Sunrise is a residential home in Southbourne that continually plagues
me to retire into a place where everything is done for you and where
nothing is left to chance. This awful winter as I pass to and fro in my
car I am terribly temped to drive in and abandon the fight! Fear not,
I have also been invited to experience Sunset in the West Country in
a dormer bungalow complete with a fronded palm in the front garden
and two garages (though what I should do with the other one I don't
quite know!) Falmouth has always had a particular attraction to me and
again I am tempted to "up sticks" and enjoy the company of people of
similar mind and disposition. Choices, choices of places in which to be
cared for and inspired. Decisions, decisions on where to spend the run-up to eternity.Older people are not excused these. Rather the options
become even more attractive with the passing of the years. I will
let you know how things work out!
