After 52 years of working life I've decided to retire on the 18th July at the grand old age of 67.
I was wondering what retirees get up to with all the free time on their hands. I'm sure there must be one or to of you out there who can point me in the right direction, before my darling wife puts me to work finishing off all those jobs I've been deferring for the past ten years or so.
I've got a few plans and I have a few hobbies, such as doing my little MX5 up and playing bass in little rock band, and my favourite pastime, spending time in my lovely caravan. But obviously in the winter months, I may be left twiddling my thumbs occasionally.
Tips anyone?

Regards
Mr T.

Well I like Reading or watching TV ,Drama is a good Channel (20) if you like old series.Or Yesterday. Volunteer for anything you think might interest you the Library will have suggestions .Join a FriendshipTea Dance,Club .Churches have Groups.We help with the Foodbank which is once a week for Clients.If you have a Computer you can look up anything you are interested in from Music from all Decades to Train Journeys,Holidays etc. You could learn to use a Computer probably at a Library.Or even learn to Cook if you do not know already! Hope these are helpful. Marilyn

Nice one Rick. That's my plan A.
Flights booked to the USA for the 18/8.
Having a drive around the Rockies, starting at Denver, heading over to Yellowstone. Stopping over in Iceland for a couple of nights on the way out.
Regards
Ray
