Lots of typos here. Sorry!

I always make that many typo’s, without even noticing.

The older I get, the more isolated I want to be. Being in the shadow of NYC is terrible in that regard, but my wife is miserable in this semi-rural area we currently reside.

It will be a huge change, but hopefully you may have some good surprises, especially when you are preparing for the worse!
It's difficult to make such a choice when your partner has very different wishes on where and how to live. I think it's courageous of you to give it a try. I'm seeing several couples of friends fall apart because neither will make the effort to change, or one has been making all the efforts for years and decide it's over.

It's good that you can take at least Skeksis and Chippy with you, though you must be sad to leave the others, Mr Bumble and his children.

Having moved from a very rural area in Spain to a very busy city in the UK and being perhaps of a similar solitary nature I can say in my experience it wasn't that bad. Age makes a difference and in my case it was becoming apparent that the physical aspects of rural living on a large area of land was just going to get tougher.
For some people I know of a similar age downsizing worked and the boundries of what needed upkeep were adjusted to a realistic level.

I hope it goes well for you.

I've been told by C that 5 hens will be going to a new home tonight. If C is to be believed it sounds like it will be better than the allotments. I hope the stress of the move doesn't make them sick.

It didn't get above freezing today.

Fingers crossed here too for them!

Ex Batts good afternoon one and all!

73 cloudy 89% humidity feels like 73 rain 49%.

C has decided to make everyone's life miserable.

Is there not anyone in the allotments that is able to talk with her and guide her to make some decent decisions.

Have a great day!

I'm guessing she gave little or no indication which 5...and anyway wouldn't take your preferences into consideration The new place may be physically better than the allotments, but I doubt the chosen few will be better looked after there than they have been by you.
