Retiredyorkie's bio
I have been retired for quite a number of years but enjoy travelling in the UK and Europe. Enjoy sitting in the sun and reading a good book together with visiting places of interest in the Country I am visiting.
When I was widowed I sat thinking for three months and then came to the conclusion that life was still going on and I could not put the clock back, and I am sure my late spouse would have had said "go for it" so I started to be solo traveller which was difficult at first but then started to meet people in the same situation and now enjoy the company of others whilst holidaying in hotels and the odd cruise.
I also socialise at home with friends going for the odd lunch. enjoy going to garden centres (I may add not a brilliant gardener ) but get by.. Reading a good book on rainy day.

Are you deterred from going on a cruise or happy to keep sailing?I have done a few cruises but not my favourite holiday. Certainly would not think about doing a cruise whilst this virus is with still with us not worth the risk of being stuck for weeks in a cabin if there is an outbreak of the virus on board and social distancing I think would be very difficult.ViewDate:
29th Jun 2020 Retiredyorkie commented on:
Will you be visiting your local pub this weekend?No thanks - I usually go out on occasions with friends usually for a pub lunch and a good old chat, Don't think that this will be happening for quite a while. So I won't be anywhere near a pub at the weekend.ViewDate:

Would you be happy to visit a National Trust garden next week?Yes I would be pleased to visit a lovely garden, just as long as everyone abided by the distancing rules. The only thing would be the entry prices that will put people off as those most able to visit would be retired people, fur load people and the unemployed who probably would not have the finances to be able to go unfortunately.ViewDate:

Have you received the holiday refund that you are due?Booked holidays with a well known over 50's holiday company. June holiday was cancelled due to pandemic was emailed with a credit note stating I could either use it to book another holiday or money would be refunded at the end of July. Rang and informed them I had previously booked an holiday with them in September and I was then refunded all my June holidays costs within 14 days. No complaints so far - waiting to see what is happening for September holidays.ViewDate:

2nd Apr 2020 Retiredyorkie commented on:
Are you considering cutting your own hair?The thought of trying to cut my hair makes me tremble at the knees. I have decided that I will have to have a pony tail or bunches when it gets too long. Don't think I could manage plaits - well it will give someone a laugh when they see me as they pass by at a distance. -
