Dec 2008: “When my husband retired  we moved to Stafford to be near our children who had  both moved for their jobs.  My daughter and her husband lived near Stoke on Trent and my son lived in Derby.  Amanda and her family live near Uttoxeter and Graham lives near Burton on Trent, so still fairly close, 45mins and 75mins by car for me, at bit less for them as they drive faster. Sadly my husband, Darrell, died 4 years ago, but fortunately the family are close and my grandchildren are a constant delight.”
