Sheila Gunn and her husband, Brian, thought they had done the sensible thing to prepare for later life by selling their bungalow with a large garden and purchasing an easily-maintained, brand new two bedroom apartment in Warlingham.<\/p>

However, sadly, Mr Gunn passed away two years ago and Mrs Gunn found herself alone in a new development.<\/p>

She said: \u201cWe had it all planned and we\u2019d made a sensible move as far as I was concerned, but when Brian died I realised the whole apartment block was full of business people who went out to work. I was too far away from Warlingham Green where all the shops are and although I saw my son and daughter and grandchildren regularly, generally, for most of the day I didn\u2019t see a soul and I was very, very lonely.\u201d<\/p>

Mrs Gunn, who turns 80 this year, saw the signs for Churchill Retirement Living\u2019s Greenacres Lodge in Warlingham and knew it would be the answer to her problems.<\/p>

She said: \u201cWhen I came and saw what the development could offer me I reserved straight away. I loved it.  I knew I would be happy here and I am. I was one of the first to move in and there are six of us here now and we all get on so well. It\u2019s like having a second family.<\/p>

\"We have a lot of fun together at coffee mornings and afternoon tea. We have regular movie afternoons and fish and chip suppers too. Our Lodge Manager, Carol, is absolutely wonderful and is starting to build us a library of books and CDs. And soon more Owners will start to move in and build up the community.\u201d<\/p>

As well as the company, Mrs Gunn is enjoying a number of other added benefits to living at the Lodge.<\/p>

She said: \u201cWe\u2019re so close to Warlingham Green and all the shops and it\u2019s an easy walk so I go out regularly. Because I\u2019m walking more my health is improving. Another benefit is it\u2019s absolutely secure here \u2013 I have no worries about leaving it and I feel very safe. It\u2019s also a great thing to be able to have my grandchildren to stay in the Guest Suite. They think it\u2019s brilliant!\u201d<\/p>

Mrs Gunn, is enjoying her new life and is looking forward to the future.<\/p>

\u201cI feel so much happier since I\u2019ve moved in at Greenacres Lodge and there is so much to look forward to \u2013 I can\u2019t wait to enjoy the lovely garden in the summer.  My family has seen a difference in me and agree I\u2019ve definitely done the right thing.\u201d<\/p>
