The Retirement Thread

Well, after another sleepless night I’m showered, a cup of Clooney’s double espresso downed and ready for the off to the first hospital physio appointment since the BTKR.

I could quite easily live in a caravan.
Ours is plenty big enough for the two of us and we have some good off grid kit, so we can stay at some very nice out of the way places.
If we didn't use the van so much, we'd get rid of it.
I can't understand some of the folk we see - new Range Rover, new caravan and all the kit and not a clue. They probably use it for 2 weeks a year and think they're having a cheap holiday.
I did a rough costing of one guys set up when we stayed near Shaftsbury. I reckon the whole lot cost around £115000!

Our static cost us £40k. It had all mod cons eg full c/h, en suite plus main bathroom, washing machine, full tv and nice sterio etc. One big plus was that the site was open all year so we used it even in winter and had a few nice christmases there.

We've had a few good Christmases in ours - there's a very nice little site on Dartmoor that we use.

You will be fine. We have far fewer cases than England, and of course far fewer people in general. Have fun

I’ll stick this here in case anyone is interested for the scenery if nothing else. My recently retired doctor along with his two sons ran across Scotland for cancer research and samh last year. This is the video. He is a lovely guy. Just a year younger than me and still very fit. He was out running this morning at 7 minute odd miling.

The virus hasn't been invented that could affect our Welshie.

I would never be fishing I once heard it described as ...using a stick with a lower life form at each end

Give a man a fish and feed him for a day
Teach a man to fish and he will sit at the side of a muddy puddle wishing he was cycling

Disappointing news, Air Sri Lanka hasn't yet cancelled the flights to the UK yet, I might have to come home.

I'd stay there as long as possible if I were you, 9 cases of Coronavirus reported yesterday here in Barnet
