89-year-old Norbert Reynolds has waited a long time to enjoy a life of leisure on the Cornish coast, and since finally getting the keys to his brand new apartment at Churchill\u2019s Perran Lodge<\/a> in Newquay, he feels that life couldn\u2019t be better.<\/p>

When Norbert and his wife Ruby spent their honeymoon in Newquay almost exactly 65 years ago, they fell in love with the area and have been back countless times since. More recently, looking to relocate from their native Blackpool to enjoy an active retirement by the sea, and attracted by the idea of low maintenance living in a Churchill apartment, they visited Churchill\u2019s Cornish developments in both Truro and Penzance. \u201cWe liked them both,\u201d explains Norbert. \u201cBut they weren\u2019t Newquay! We were holding out as we knew we wanted to be here, so when we heard a new development was coming to Narrowcliff we couldn\u2019t believe our luck.\u201d<\/p>

However unfortunately fate had other ideas and devastatingly for Norbert, Ruby sadly passed away before the construction of Perran Lodge had been completed. Norbert took some time to come to terms with this, and then bravely decided that the right thing to do would be to press on with the move and bring his memories of Ruby with him, as she had insisted he should do.<\/p>

\u201cI knew it was the right thing to do, and it\u2019s what she wanted,\u201d he explains.<\/p>

Sandi and the Churchill team were all so helpful and supportive. Once I\u2019d made the decision I just wanted to be here, so I never even viewed the apartment, I just looked at the plans and photos and said I wanted one on the top floor with a beautiful sea view from the balcony. Churchill\u2019s Home Exchange service gave me a guaranteed cash buyer for my old place which helped everything go smoothly, so the whole process was done in a matter of weeks. I trusted the Churchill team completely and they did not disappoint \u2013 and when moving day finally arrived, wow!<\/p><\/blockquote>

As well as enjoying the sea views from his new apartment, Norbert loves hopping on the bus at the stop directly opposite Perran Lodge, and travelling all over Cornwall. \u201cI may be the oldest Owner here, but I like to keep myself active,\u201d he says. \u201cI go to Truro quite often and visit Cheryl the Lodge Manager at Tregolls Lodge. It\u2019s easy to get anywhere I want to on the bus, and I\u2019ve enjoyed visiting Tintagel, Mousehole, Port Isaac and the other beautiful places Cornwall has to offer. Everyone is so friendly and even the bus driver is getting to know me quite well!\u201d<\/p>

For Norbert the beauty of life with Churchill is that he can be on his own, but not alone. \u201cMoving here is the best thing I\u2019ve ever done, it\u2019s like living in a five star hotel. Sometimes I almost feel a tinge of guilt that I\u2019m so happy. I\u2019m out and about every day making friends and meeting new people, it\u2019s been just what I needed and it all suits me down to the ground.\u201d<\/p>
