The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

I can't either, but other family members are OK with it
and there's only so much I can do about it. In the past I've almost caused a family rift and a divorce trying to sort it.

I know how you feel. Mr WD is the same. I get rid of stuff gradually. A bit at a time so that he doesn't notice. It is amazing how much crap i have binned in the last 12 months. Whole cupboards and drawers have been emptied. .

I have even cleared his entire wardrobe out, but i did have to make loud noises about that.

Yay! Mrs D walked 3 miles down the Camel Trail today. 8 weeks to the day since she broke her ankle.
In the pub celebrating now.

I think Dirk was a bit excited. He got carried away there.

spent the morning in sunny criccieth and now spending the afternoon at equally sunny Blackrock ,looking in the estate agents windows is giving us ideas what a difference to Dorset.

Tempting, ain't it? Nice place in a pleasant area and a good few grand in the bank.
It's nice to have options.

We were looking at Barmouth, but i am not sure i want to move further west to be honest. If anything i would be more inclined to move East say Oswestry area. Barmouth is quite dead i the winter. There are only about 2000 people that live there full time. A bit like Machynlleth, the area i live in now.

 

[Dirk]

I haven't ruled out another move.
Quite fancy the St.Agnes area of Cornwall.

For some odd reason we like Oswestry, but if we were to move over that way and it may happen one day then I think it would be nearer to Shrewsbury.

There is more to do over that way, and it is flatter as well. Bigger population but more places to see and thngs to do. Living in the sticks is good, but you can feel a bit isolated, and there are not a lot of things to do. Winter is the worst time of course. There is nothing in Machynlleth.

Barmouth is a second home for brummies.

I should have added, we like Barmouth but for sure would not want to live there.
