  • I also went against the received wisdom of retiring during the autumn, but the last six months or so have given me the time to really sort out the remaining retirement and life/financial 'admin', so ready to enjoy all the new freedoms now with the better weather...

    Enjoy the winding down!

    A number of things , being able to financially cope, 40+ years in job and a very close colleague passing away recently who I had worked with all that time.
