Its a great feeling.......waking up on the first day of what would have been the start of your working week and realising you don’t need to go to work! Enjoy.

Can’t wait to “go foreign” again. Next year though. I’m toying with Alsace, Moselle, Italian lakes, Provence, all done before but gagging for it again.

Already over in France. With just over 4 weeks left.
No regrets on finishing work or coming to France.

I retired on Friday after 46 hard years roofing. My joints are feeling better already

 

[Aji]

My plan was to retire at 55, worked on until 57, had enough. That was 3 years ago, these last 3 years have flown by. Fortunately I have a decent pension, no debt, good health and very little stress. Enjoying every day.

Fair play!! Enjoy!! A good work mate passed away in his sleep this weekend age 61. Worked all his life and hasn’t had a retirement. Makes you seriously think about retirement age

 

[Fragle]

Where is that? We are headed that way. Looks worth a stop.

 

[FIDGET]

Just remember it's not all fun and games ,
Think what you lose , no weekends , no bank holidays, no having to get up at a set time ( lost time staying in bed too long )
Then there's all those jobs around the house etc that there's no excuse not too do !!,
Then her who must be obeyed will expect you too share her chores !!

Covid helped my wife and I retire last year (I was 55 and wifey 59).
We were furloughed and opted for voluntary redundancy.
Since last April, we have toured France taking 9 weeks to travel 3500 miles, toured Kent,Oxfordshire,Wales,Somerset,Cheshire, Lancashire, Northumberland and Durham. Looking forward to touring Norfolk in October then a 7 month tour of Fance, Spain and Croatia in 2022.
Retirement sucks
