The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Considered. I am up. I have been awake since about 4 am. It was far too hot to sleep.

Its going to be another hot one I think.

Stay safe peeps

I was also awake early but couldn’t be bothered moving.

Cuppa and a browse then I suppose I will get out for a bit.

Re the pensions thread, when I get mine in just under 3 years it will take me back into the income tax bracket I think when I count in my work pension. Does it automatically get deducted or will I need to contact Inland Revenue?

Good morning folks,
I awoke just before midnight choking. Quite distressing, it felt as though there was something lodged in my throat and my bedside glass of water didn’t clear it. I got up and sucked a couple of strepsil tablets, had a lot more water and headed back to bed. Anyway, I’m still here and I did have a lovely dream about riding my bike once I did get to sleep 🚴
Stay safe folks ☀️☕️😎

An excellent 53 mile gravel ride yesterday to the Sankey Valley, a very lovely trail beside the disused St Helen's canal. Tan lines have improved significantly.

That Sankey valley Warrington? our lad lives in Warrington and rides through a Sankey Valley most mornings on his way home from work, sounds a lovely place.

I have houseworky stuff to do, then some pottering. I shall hide inside as it's going to be hot today with some showers as well.

I have my new workroom, so shall be In there doing stuff. I have a bit more to get things as I want it.

Yes it is. The disused Sankey Brook or St Helens canal, depends who you ask, runs through it to the Mersey. We're planning a ride down to the Mersey, pick up the Trans Pennine Trail, use this towards Manchester before meandering home on the Bridgwater and Leeds Liverpool canals.

Worth Googling Sankey Valley Park for some excellent images.

There is a lovely gravel ride that takes you along the Ship canal into Runcorn. (Busy there so I walk 200 yards).
Across the old Runcorn/Widnes bridge (a dedicated walk/cycle way). Drop down to Sankey valley canal and back towards Warrington... 30+ miles.

I like it, I like it. I feel some more research will happen later today.....

Our Lad often talks about the wild life he see's when he video calls us on a Sunday, it sounds a lovely spot.

Morning all from sunny north Devon . Our last full day here so we will be up and about a little earlier as there are thunderstorms forecast for this afternoon.
It’s been a better holiday than I was fearing , so fingers crossed it doesn’t kick off on the last day😂😂😀

From my house the 1st 2 miles is minor roads then, apart from where you walk across a road, you are off road.

I recently started to receive a pension I was previously unaware of. That included a nice lump sum. They certainly took ALL tax before paying me.

I went out early to put the washing out and it was lovely, birds singing, warm and sunny, and as I walked past them I noticed that my sweet peas are in bud, they're late but they will be in flower soon, makes the work I put in worthwhile.
