Hi,

I'm attracted by the idea of relocating to a more sleepy part of the UK, I currently live in North Kent.

The reality is everywhere is getting more busy with housebuilding going on everywhere and little or no improvement in infrastructure.

Truth be known I fancy living in the French Alps but I doubt we'd ever make the jump.

However, I think I'd miss my network of friends, family, clubs and other contacts that we have built up over the last 20 years since moving out of the London suburbs ...

I find it odd that people move when they retire and leave their network behind at the time of life when they would have more time to enjoy their network.

Relocating on retirement seems like an almighty reset and risks leaving you isolated and lonely ...
