The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Perfect day today.
Went for a walk around Sandymouth Bay this morning, then on to the 13th century ruins of Penhallam Manor, followed by lunch at Wainhouse Corner.
Been walking around in just a T shirt and jeans......in February! Currently 17.9°c out there!
Back to the van for an afternoon nap......

I am sick of the gravel, but it would not be kind on the wallet to resurface the drive.

Just got back home after our shakedown trip in the motorhome. got a good idea of what we need to make life easier from now on.

I'm almost converted to thinking it was a good idea to buy it. It's very comfortable but the fire alarm went off twice last night for no apparent reason. Nobody on the site would talk to us this morning.

Me & Mrs. jg got out on the bikes in the lanes around Belford, Lucker and the coast in perfect cycling weather. Hardly any traffic, just enough lumpiness to be interesting and fantastic scenery especially on the coast. Stopped at the Salt Water cafe in Beadnell for a crayfish tail sandwich. Nearly had a turn when they asked £8 for it But when it came I realised why they charge so much - it was a full knife and fork meal.

Managed 26 miles, which is a good attempt by Mrs. jg who hasn't been on a bike since last summer.

We also stopped for a walk on Bamburgh beach which was mobbed. Never seen so many people there and in February too.

The rubbish photo doesn't do it justice but believe me it was rammed.

We arrived at 5pm at my stepdaughters last night and took my granddaughter for two driving lessons today. Pleased that I haven't lost my driving instructor skill after 4 years out of it but still horrified by the state of the roads around Bideford. Glad I didn't bring my bike.

Err? Not a clue.

They fitted you with a new hard drive, and they put nothing on it!

Done a back up first and hopefully put it all back on again.
