Like so many other Churchill Owners, her new lifestyle will be sure to include heading off on the odd cruise to see new places and discover new things.<\/p><p>\u201cI\u2019m no different from lots of other people my age,\u201d explains Pam.<\/p><blockquote><p>I was living on my own in a lovely bungalow in Essex, but I had no family nearby, so when I saw the new Churchill apartments being built here in Tonbridge, I felt it was the perfect opportunity to make a move and be closer to my relations here. Now I\u2019m glad I don\u2019t have to make the journey down to visit, and I\u2019m very happy in my new apartment.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>Pam continues: \u201cAs St Giles Lodge is a brand new development we\u2019re all fairly new here, it\u2019s a very friendly group of people and we\u2019ve all enjoyed getting to know each other. I feel very lucky to have such a nice set of neighbours around me and there\u2019s no-one here who rocks the boat!\u201d<\/p><p>Speaking of boats, Pam is looking forward to a cruise through up Norwegian coast in the coming months. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say I\u2019m a cruise ship fanatic, but I\u2019ve been on one or two very nice trips to places like Alaska, the Nile and parts of Europe. It\u2019s something lots of people enjoy, and a great way to spend time with friends. I\u2019m hoping to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights on my next trip, and I hope I\u2019ll be planning one or two more journeys in the future.\u201d<\/p><p>St Giles Lodge is located near the centre of Tonbridge, a few minutes\u2019 walk to the north of the main High Street and its variety of shops, restaurants, and other leisure activities. The Lodge comprises 31 private, self-contained apartments which boast spacious rooms throughout and have been considerately designed with the over 60s in mind.<\/p><p>For more information on St Giles Lodge call 01732 622 252 or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.staging.themediapeople.co.uk\/churchill2021\/contact\/\">click here<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/protect-eu.mimecast.com\/s\/xN1qBf0K0puk\"><br><\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pam Calvert has been happily settling in to her brand new apartment where she\u2019s closer to family and enjoying the company of new friends. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13867,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[228],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.4 -
