Nick, I'm sure you had your retirement project(s) in place before the event.

Something I advise everyone nearing retirement. But

What is harder to envisage, is that these things will change. eg I volunteered at the Community Radio, even ended-up spending 5/6/7 days there, at times, until it ran out of money. However I had already started recording old folk talking about the area "in the old days". So I just carried on self-funded.
