Downsizing is not an option on the table over here yet, both sons grown up still live in the home or small flatlet we had developed years ago for my mother-in-law.

Under the circumstances we live in, many things come into play, so escaping into the mountains or game reserves once or twice a year will have to do for now.

Love your home out in the country, I could never live in a flat, semi or any other place where I was not able to enjoy a dog, the birds, trees and small garden.
