The Retirement Thread

[Gunk]

I have only been retired 5 minutes and I am effortlessly slipping into the retiree role. How did I ever find time to go to work? 😁

I would like to say I have bought an allotment. But in fact it is a tiny house in a 453 square metre garden. I am busy putting a click floor in the tiny house and sorting out an outdoor cooking area on the cheap.

I thought of a name for the place as I was raking bucket fulls of mirabelle plums off the grass. "La Maison Mirabelle". That will get the locals talking.

I have made my own jam for the first time. I am shocked how good mirabelle jam is. I am now researching how to make mirabelle hooch.

Morning all

Off to the White Horse bike meeting later on the Barracuda; Mrs D's going on her Bantam. They've got a band on, as well as a bbq, so should be good if the weather holds out.
