Retiring in style that's me!

This was me on 1st June - cantering off the corporate carousel. Catch me if you can!

Thank you for visiting my website

I've looked at other websites on the subject of retirement.  There are those which concentrate on financial matters (all very important, of course) and others which chart the retiree's travels around the world (all very exciting, of course.)

I wanted my website to be a bit different.  To report, day to day, on an ordinary life, turned upside down retirement.  It is very unlikely that you will find any financial advice written here (even if there was, I would not advise you to follow it), nor am I planning a Round The World journey.  But it will give you an insight into my crazy life, through the Daily Blog.  I will also give you my thoughts on the latest news, tell you about the books I have read, and the recipes I have cooked (with varying degrees of success.) 

I hope you will find something in the following webpages to interest you, to inform you but, above all, to entertain you.

Welcome to my world!

Some thoughts on retirement...

"This is a new and different world and the challenge is to cope with it.  And not just to cope, but to thrive."

Sometimes it's what happens instead that's the good stuff

"May you travel in an awakened way,
Gathered wisely into your inner ground;
That you may not waste the invitations
Which wait along the way to transform you."

John O'Donahue (Irish poet and philosopher)

"Don't be defined by what you do, because if what you do goes away, you're left without a purpose."

"Don't let the best you have done so far be the standard you set for the rest of your life" (Gustavus Swift) - Now there's a challenge!

"It's never too late to set a new goal or to dream a new dream" (C. S. Lewis) - my retirement motto!

Happiness - being FREE to sing, laugh, dance - create!


Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Listen. Learn. Adapt. Improve

I did a minute taking course and was told that they are called 'minutes' because the Chair was to sum up the discussion in a minute, a challenge for some!!

Hi Jacqui! This post amused me and I can empathise so much!! My meeting notes are usually punctuated with acronyms that I have to research afterwards!

I read this when it first came out - like you I found it funny and sad in equal measure. Well written. I met her in France - an unusual lady to say the least!
