living in a flat ... Both my husband and Dad had a banter going with a name I cannot recall presently. Almost virtually everybody have turned their nose up. It is vastly different to our last abode, a listed scenic situated cottage in a well to do area, It was by a river that dried up in the year we moved in, to many times nearly breaching the banks when we moved from there. We have seen a spectrum of life in living in such diverse places. You hardly get cold callers here, at the flat. At our other home we had many, they would put the price up too.
Yet some pay a hefty price to live in loft style or riverside apartments etc. On top and under others. We are all different. This has certainly been interesting for me.
Our flat is lovely and central for easy access for other parts of this country. The fact in that both public transport of buses and trains are a hop skip and a jump away, for getting both locally and to either Central London one way or Ashford International onto and beyond the Euro tunnel etc. the other. And in the opposite direction, the very nearby interchange and network of roads, with the M25 built within the time I have been in the area. This takes you to the Dartford Tunnel etc one way or my area that was, the other, including my birth county. And so much more.
I live on the ground floor and currently under occupy, much to the annoyance to some. We had ground floor originally, due to husbands fading mobility. Now it is good for me. I don't think anyone here who have seen my prior floods, would like me living above them at the moment, while I recover my life, presently.
I have been supported in living here, until I am ready to occupy a less family oriented home. It is still not quite absolutely certain where daughter would continue her studies. She had the opportunity to go to a more local uni in London (where if it is more appropriate to continue there) or Wales or where she eventually went on gaining her A levels etc. And it all depends on so many things like me. Everyone knows if I find something really good vocationally here, I might postpone my other eventual move and move into a better needed property for my needs, here.
It has also been interesting living in social housing, when my husband medically retired from his career. We as a family been very much involved in social housing, learning and helping others in this process. It is a good community. My husband was a tenant board member which involves other committees and in house training, opportunities to sit on panels etc. Our daughter was involved in all aspects too. I have followed it on a tad. I have had a lot of opportunities too, for I have been well supported at times. I could if so wished work in this area when I am ready ... There is an office in my town or a train journey to head office. It has been an avenue I have thought about.
