The Retirement Thread

It’s a plastic surgeon I need. I’ve inherited a rather large schnozel from my dad!

That’s one good thing about good parents .All ways go the extra yard.
or inch or two.

It's a good call. My local caravan club site had an obvious incoming of visitors this weekend. Not so bad here (Wirral), but for caravan clubs with more sparse clinical facilities, it's unfair on the local populace.

I agree. I'd already cancelled my trips that I'd got planned before they made the announcement.
I just hope we don't get an influx of London second home owners coming down here over the next few weeks.
Saying that, I've noticed 2 London reg cars have appeared on the drive of a holiday home 5 doors away from me.

No.3 son and partner wanted to talk about buying a house. They've found one. It's a long story which I won't bore you with.

This would though be a BIG mistake. Two issues. The area is best described as "socially deprived." Secondly the housing market will probably collapse in the next 12 months.

I tried VERY hard to get this message over.

Lot of truth in location location location.
We bought in a low value area 1982. We still love it but the value has not increased as it should. But.... we have many happy memories.

It's difficult, but I've learned to give my advice. Which they'll then ignore and make their own mistakes anyway, but that's the only way they truly learn.

Sons now back home, I took him to the station just after tea, and he text me an hour ago to say he'd got back. We were over Shenton this afternoon, the roads were about as busy as they normally are on a Sunday, but Whitemoors Antiques was very quiet, only about half a dozen people in there, made it very easy to have a good look round.

Good morning campers Hi-Di-Hi
Suns up and so am I.
Mrs Tenkay has a birthday today 🎂

She's planning on a day of planting veg seeds, hopefully we'll be able to venture outdoors as long as we avoid close contact with others.

Hope all fellow forumites have a great day too 👍

Happy birthday to Mrs T.

Morning folks. Sunny but cold at the moment

As far as camp sites are concerned lots of people at are angry that people are coming to Wales, staying at campsites just so that they can raid the shops and stores of food then bugger off back where they came from. There are lots of signs telling them to bugger off back. Can't blame people really when you consider what they do.

A number of campsites have been taking flack from locals and are shutting their sites.

Mornin' all. First frost I've seen in a while, so hoping the sun can quickly burn it off.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Mrs D working from home so didnt need to get up so early, but I don't want to be lazy like most civilians so I want to keep my routine going. Therefore, up at half 6, Muttley already walked. Serious frost out there but the current bun is already warming things up.
