My wife is much the same as yours.No more than a couple of miles from a shop. Also, as you say, space becomes a premium once you get close to amenities
The grand-kids is why we didn't move to Wales two years ago when I was still (relatively) healthy. Now we are looking seriously at moving 4 to 5 hours away!My wife is much the same as yours.
She is more concerned about where the shops are (vittles, not clothes); where the nearest decent hospital is, and how long a journey back to see her grand-kids?
So, I am stuck here in expensive-ville it seems.
The way I look at it is that I did my stint raising my kids and it is their job to raise theirs, not mine. I think grandparents have earned the right to be as selfish as they like in such matters.The grand-kids is why we didn't move to Wales two years ago when I was still (relatively) healthy.

Of course it is, but our Stan is a muggle so we let him think it is a made up place....What!........ You mean it isn't?
My mate's GF from Louisiana arrived here last week and is staying for 3 weeks, so the border is open in at least one directionFlights to the US are dirt cheap at the moment. The missis would really like to get over and see the family. Really tempted to book and take a gamble the border will be open in September.
The wife could fly in no probs, she's a septic. Me, not so much.My mate's GF from Louisiana arrived here last week and is staying for 3 weeks, so the border is open in at least one direction
