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.

Would you vote to legalise euthanasia?At this moment in time you can decided to put an animal out of pain but you have to watch a loved one go through losing their dignity and in total pain. I think a person should have the right to decide when they wish to die.ViewDate:

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:

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:
