In fact they very nearly became neighbours after Shirley\u2019s move to Chantry Lodge in Andover, but Audrey decided that a move to St Athelm Lodge in Wells was the right one for her.<\/p><p>Shirley explains: \u201cI have all my family here in Andover, and I was one of the first to reserve an apartment at Chantry Lodge so I could take advantage of being close to my children and grandchildren. Now I\u2019m right in the centre of town, with no more worries about looking after a bungalow and very large garden. I\u2019m making new friends and enjoying a new lifestyle here.<\/p><blockquote><p>When Audrey came to visit me she could see the benefits of the Churchill lifestyle, and I tried to persuade her to buy an apartment next to mine so we could have been neighbours. However, she had a look at some of Churchill\u2019s other locations and fell in love with the city of Wells, where she is closer to her friends, and I can see she\u2019s very happy there. On reflection, it might have been a bit confusing for people having identical twin sisters living in the same development! We\u2019re still very close and keep in touch every day, and we can both see the difference in each other since making the move.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>Audrey agrees: \u201cShirley was a fairly quiet person before moving to Chantry Lodge, but she\u2019s become a lot more outgoing and made lots of new friends. She\u2019s often down in the Owners\u2019 Lounge playing Rummikub until 10pm, and when her family want to see her they now have to fit in appointments around her social life! I saw a real positive change in her, and that was partly what reassured me that the Churchill lifestyle would be right for me too.\u201d<\/p><p>Audrey continues: \"Being an identical twin has been a good icebreaker. On a few occasions when I first started viewing different developments, members of the Churchill team thought they already knew me as they\u2019d met Shirley, so it confused a few people. They must have wondered why she was looking to buy another apartment!\u201d<\/p><p>Shirley has seen a similar positive change in her sister.<\/p><blockquote><p>Audrey has really come alive since the move, her previous house and garden were large so the move was something she\u2019d been considering for a long time, but of course it was a big decision. Now she\u2019s done it I think she is really pleased to have made that decision, and she can look forward to making new friends and enjoying her new life in Wells.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>Now the sisters can both make the most of their spare time and enjoy an occasional visit to see each other in their respective Churchill developments, where they can enjoy a home from home that\u2019s similar, but not quite identical.<\/p><p>For more information on the brand new apartments for sale at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.staging.themediapeople.co.uk\/churchill2021\/retirement-apartments-for-sale\/somerset\/\">St Athelm Lodge, Wells<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.staging.themediapeople.co.uk\/churchill2021\/retirement-apartments-for-sale\/hampshire\/\">Chantry Lodge, Andover <\/a>call 0800 458 1856.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twin sisters enjoy the benefits of Retirement Living despite being miles apart. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13927,"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 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Twin sisters\u2019 new apartments are two of a kind!
