When I became really ill with mental illness i realised i could no longer look after my large house and garden and decided to move into a smaller unit (house) in a suburb near the beach. It only has a small garden to look after. I am sad about leaving my old garden as it was large and rambling and all the windows of the house looked out onto it. Life is much more manageable here where i am though. I live closer to my mum and to friends which is good.
Have you had to move because of illness?
lots of love from susan in australia

Yes, I've had to move due to illness and in the longer term it's been positive. The first move was from my mother's house and I discovered that I was well enough to look after myself. Unfortunately, after a few years, that place didn't work out so I moved again. Where I'm living now has a smaller garden but it's got more flowers and it isn't shared, my neighbours are nicer and I'm happier.
I understand why you'd miss a big rambling garden, especially when I dwell on the loveliness of big gardens. Small intimate gardens have a bit going for them too.
love,
Rosemary
