Thanks Savingholmes it arrived after we left so I’ve not seen it yet.Had a great time at mums got to play two rounds of golf at my old course which was great. Now we’re at the cottage by the sea. The weather was great the first two days but now less so. Today we did go into the town centre and it looks really nice lots of bars and cafes and shops. It is hard with 8 almost all adults to decide what we do and when. DG is finding it tough and is a bit sulky. Tomorrow we’re going to a safari park for the day so I think that will cheer her up.I think we’ve decided not to temp faith and view any houses but I’m seeing two friends Saturday and Sunday so there is time next week after DG goes back.Very cheap holiday so far as there is a Lidl 5 min walk away and we’ve only bought stuff one day but it will all be divided out amongst us.Saw some messages from work big meeting today about the changes. Sounds grim so I’m glad I’ve got my own plans. Could do with dg cheering up but otherwise it’s lovely spending time with all the family even saw my dad before we left.Moved to Denmark for FIRE by Aug 2025 “May your decisions reflect your hopes not your fears”

Glad you got to see family.
It sounds like there is a lot of grim workplace news going around. Definitely need our own plans to help counteract that. It's so good that you are quite far down your FIRE journey.Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality

Thank you for the birthday wishes had a lovely day with my mum visiting a treetop tower in the middle of a forest. So calming to walk along the forest and also up the tower gentle boardwalk all the way with lots of resting places.Travelling back today so need to get a few more bits to take back. Also visiting an outlet place before the train. I don’t really need anything but mum wants to buy me a present.I’ve had a great time lots to think about re the move. DG has a cold so has taken the day off. She’s off to play golf her way destress she claims.I miss the cats and dg so will be good to get home 2 1/2 weeks is the longest I’ve had off in ages. I’ll post properly when I get back and share more about the house hunt and the properties we saw.Moved to Denmark for FIRE by Aug 2025 “May your decisions reflect your hopes not your fears”
