My late wife's elderly mum reckons she wants to move. She lives in a nice house, has great neighbours in a quiet close, her home is adapted to suit her, she lives 5 mins from a large hospital with A&E, has a free bus/train pass and local shops within 2 mins walk. Apparently she doesn't get to see enough of us (or her best friend who lives nearby) so feels a bit lonely at times and gets fed up when it snows because she can't then get out much. Her proposed 'solution' to this problem is to endure the trauma and cost of a house move 200 miles away from her grandchildren, her friends and all the services she knows, uses and relies on. She'll obviously see us, her grandchildren and friends far less (if at all), have to take a chance on completely new neighbours, new friends and fewer services, plus having to build new relationships with a GP and hospital staff who'll need to be on top her various ailments.
I'm wondering if she's related to Salmond...
