Just joined so I'm introducing myself.
Watch this postI will be 67 next month and retired from the many different jobs in my working life. I guess that I didn’t ever find my calling. I went to university at age 59 but when it was over it was too late to launch a new career. I wanted to lecture but students don’t want to listen to old fogies, so sadly I put aside that idea and settled into life as an eccentric dog owner.
I live in a beautiful Lancashire valley surrounded by hills that demand they be walked/climbed, how could I refuse?
I would like to do a bit of cycle touring but a recent diagnosis of spondylosis and some hip pain means that I may not be doing a world tour anytime soon!
I’m keen to make some friends as I have been on my own for a very long time now, my daughters don’t bother much with me and I don’t have a partner.I didn’t expect to be so isolated at this time in my life, isn’t it strange the way family and friends seem to forget us when we get past 60?
I will pop in regularly and hope to strike up some friendships.

I'm currently in the process of retiring and getting some ideas of what to do with my spare time here.
I've been busy at Middleton's getting some fabulously comfy new furniture, an adjustable bed and rise and recline chair, they really know how to look after your needs there and I couldn't be happier with the products I purchased, so now I'm ready to do whatever I want whenever I want, hopefully get the grandchildren more, and improve my golf, go horse racing more, and have cost afternoons in my local.
Roll on retirement.
not as daunting as it looks. Joe

Till then....regards..Al
