I have been retired for about ten years now and absolutely loving it. Not so much now but in the early days the thing I used to enjoy most was waking up and realising I did not have to fall out of my bunk straight away and head off to do whatever. I am a volunteer guide at the NT South Foreland lighthouse and the Kent Battle of Britain Museum and love helping out there. My wife is a guide at Canterbury Cathedral and also at South Foreland and we both enjoy the camaraderie that brings. I enjoy veg gardening more than I thought I would and that plus seeing the grandchildren and watching rugby just about fills any spare time I/We have got. When I retired my son said to me whatever you do do not do what Grandpa did (my father) and retire to the country to bucolic boredom. He was right, keep fairly busy and it is a great pastime.
