Sandra,

Enjoy your retirement. I retired in September and have no regrets. OTOH, try not to take on too much too soon. I was warned you need a period of adjustment and it is true. I have taken on secretary of my local recorder group as well as carrying with folk music activities. I have also bought a melodeon and concertina which I am now trying to learn - trying being the operative word.

As my wife is still at work I also have domestic duties, so I find I can occupy my time quite well.
