Amnesty InternationalWe are talking about where to go when we get older and want another place to live.
Where we would like to live would be too expensive. We must choose somewhere that is easy to reach by train, and somewhere others will like to visit.
Our town is going downhill.
The main activity here is a military barracks. It is leaving and the population will fall, the price of houses will fall and shopping will be less easy as there will be fewer customers.
It's hard to combine all the things we would prefer or need.
We shall never have a car so we must live in a town.
We wouldn't like not to have a small garden or a large terrace.
We would need facilities for shopping or by delivery.
Then we would need a good medical service.
We have thought of places on Lake Geneva on the southern French side. We would love to live in Switzerland but would have to win at the lottery first!
............ We'll see.
Pipe dreams perhaps but serious ones.

We don't have to move. We can't now.
We could stay where we are and most probably will do that for a while yet.
I think we were collectively pipe dreaming today.
Switzerland is my husband's dream.
Since it's really too expensive, Evian or Thonon might be possibilities.
When we can we might go to visit the area for a few days to see the housing market.
It's all very imaginary, I fear.
Things here haven't really changed.
Thanks for commenting.

La Rochelle... wind!
Paris... not enough pension!
La Loire... yes!
L'Alsace perhaps.
Plenty of choice actually.
