The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Another one out of place!
How many are from where they are now?

Not me. I was born in Hampshire. Lived in Surrey, London, Worcestershire, Yorkshire, West Midlands before I found home in Lancashire.

Could easily have settled and stayed in York but work and future wife pulled me away.

Born in Sudbury, brought up in Kent and I've been living in Coventry since 1973, my Good lady is Coventry born and bred.

Sudbury ? . Is that Suffolk or west London.

Hello all. 'Tis grey and damp. Slept till 8.20 - I've done quite a lot of this recently. I'm wondering if it's the lack of anything that needs doing.

Plan is to spend the day on the allotment, hopefully crack that for the big autumn tidy up. I'd like to be in a position where all that is needed is to pick up leaves through winter.

Monday will be housework - it's going to pee down. Tuesday

Who can tell?

A question for you Dirk.
How do you have the nerve to call them grockles ??

Cold but still dry. Modified Sunday breakfast. I used to have the full heart attack fry up on Sundays but today just scrambled egg and local bacon all done in the microwave.
I was born at Shandon House which was eventually taken over and became part of the nuclear submarine base on the Gareloch. We moved around a bit mostly around central Scotland but then I moved to Mull in 1972 to start up a new distillery and have been here ever since. If we still have the tourist plague next year I will have to move to retain my sanity but evenually I will return as my name is already on a gravestone here.

Nope. Warrington Paul doesn't have the same ring to it.........

Here is my pledge. I will get out of bed, tidy round and be on the allotment by 10.00 🤔

I think the name means southern settlement, but theres also the ancient Sudbury family.

A bit like the river Avon, Avon being Norse for "River" so "River Avon" is a tautology ( in two different languages of course)

Another morning of wandering over Bodmin Moor looking at ancient relics.
Enough of MrsD..........
