Not really, it just seemed to coincide with several events that occured around that time.
My life in particular lost it’s momentum due to bad health and the realisation that almost fifty years of running had come to an end. Also, some family problems took a lot of my savings to rectify.
Foxy, no use of the Z in realisation, There is hope for Englishness again at some point.
I just wanted to know how other people did their retirement, in case there’s something I could learn, doing whatever I want whenever I want might mean someone else is doing something I could do if I were interested in it…
If you don’t retire, its one less thing to think about!
Fairy 'nuff,
I know quite a few people who have taken up painting or drawing after they retired, one ex miner I used to know (sadly deceased now) even went to a school of art. He did some amazing paintings.
Or for sunny days, I started bagging the little concrete pillars at the top of hills called ‘Trig Points’ they all have a number. They are not all on Ben Nevis or Mt Snowdon, some are situated on rolling hills and provide a nice saunter from the car. I’ve found some very beautiful secluded places out in the country that you wouldn’t normally visit, and one thing they all have in common, some outstanding and breathtaking views. There are six thousand in England to work your way through…I’ve bagged 45…
If you stick around Yorkshire there are 454
Yes foxy, I think we are planning on days out and going for some gentle walks, the Yorkshire dales/ moors are on our doorstep so they are on the agenda…
