HOMEOWNER PROFILE – Diann Blades

Sitting by her laptop doing what she loves with a rumpunch in hand, we asked homeowner Diann Blades howshe describes her experience of living in The Villages whentalking to her family and friends.
With the smile she always wears, she replied “It was one
of the best decisions I ever made. I lived in a four-bedroom, two storey house with a lot of land that I had totake care of. Now I don’t have a lot of outside space to
look after, instead I have A LOT of friends and neighbours AND we have a ‘ball’ in here!”
