A few thoughts. As we get into our 50s, a new phase of life where kids are starting to have their own friend/network although still studying, and our plans to take a slight step back and enjoy ourselves abit more. No big ambitions to climb the career ladder, or upgrade from Semi-D to Detached/GCB. Just looking for a stable live with no drama, children finishing their studies and start support themselves, and we take more time to travel and "smell the flowers" so to speak.
