"I would hate to leave this place and be somewhere where I was surrounded by fences."

"I can see a bright future for myself. I'm setting myself goals."

"Happiness is living every day as it comes."

Beryl Lyle, 86

"What keeps me going is my zest for life. There is always something around the corner to look forward to."

"All my memories are embedded in this house - I planted every single tree, flower and shrub in the garden - it's home."

"My independence is really important to me. Equal to that is my ability to remain in my own comfortable home."
