We lived in our family home for 53 years and when we initially moved into the street there was a real community feeling. We all joined together and helped each other out. Over the course of time this changed so much and unfortunately many of our original neighbours have passed on. So the types of people moving into our street were completely different and we lost the community feeling.

Now since we've moved into Gowanbrae Village we have all these new friends in our same age group, with the same ideals and desires in life, and we've just blossomed. We've made so many friends since moving in, it's just marvellous.
