Re: Early retirement

I was fortunate enough to retire at sixty. Now some twelve years later I have NO regrets. Okay, emigrating to my wife's home village in rural south-west Jamaica is not available for everyone. Everyday is a pleasure. My mantra is to learn something new everyday and I certainly live up to it. This ageing Brummie now keeps goats and grows every fruit and veg imaginable. My days start at 4.30 (before the sun is too hot). I'm either working in the "farm" (garden) or building something or another. Late morning I catch-up with one of the hundreds of MOOCs (on-line free courses) on every subject under the sun. For two years I've been developing my mindfulness meditation practice. Current project is a space in the garden in-between my "banana walk" where I can sit and watch the world go by. I have not begun to describe how full and enriching my days are. However, there is always a "however" Never forget your days at St. Andrews. Spread the word. You should hear the locals greeting me with "Aright r kid" Nowhere is "whagwaan" to be heard! Enjoy.
