The Retirement Thread

If I tried that round here I'd be lynched or arrested.

Both for me - we share an open garden with 8 other cottages.

Just got my Google Timeline report for April. I have visited Chorley and the highlights were ALDI and Tesco Extra. Apparently I have travelled 11021 miles in 2020

Ours is also an open garden but not shared, I have to position myself carefully.

Dry morning but still overcast. A bank of fog stretches all the way down the Morvern shore and about half way up the hills behind. Almost totally silent outside with only a distant pigeon and the House Sparrows twittering. Used to hear cookoo regularly but so many houses have been built behind that they have been pushed too far away to hear. Similarly no swallows as their nest sites in old barns have been converted into houses.
Have to wait around today for Glengorm to deliver my burgers and sausages.

I've been hearing a lot more cuckoos around here this year. It used to be a novelty to hear one but I've heard them in a few locations so far.

I've got a lot of surprising nice Yank brewed IPA and I intend to sit in the sun and guzzle the bleeding lot today.

Going to be a scorchio day here. A bimble will def be in order I think. I can't hear any traffic noise at all from the A470 which is about half a mile away.

I should attempt one too since the weather is to get an awful lot colder the next few days.

I like a well thought out plan.

That's what I was thinking

Need a coffee while I think about it!

Sounds good to me as well.

My firewood has arrived. Looks lovely and seasoned and we don't have to chop it at all either.

Morning all. All this talk about sun bathing naked where's Numbnuts, I sure he'll give you a few tips!

Just had our blue and grey wheelie bins emptied, waiting for the green bin to be emptied and then crack on filling it up again!
Have a good day peeps! 🌈
