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 be happy to be weighed before boarding a flight?Hay ho it’s off to fly we go. Chalk it up as an experience. Just stop all the carry on suitcases which probably weigh more than some of the passengers and block all the hand luggage space.ViewDate:

Do you have access to an NHS Dentist?Had a NHS dentist which after my last visit received an email stating that they were going private and I could join their plan to receive two inspections a year plus two cleans, which would be a monthly direct debit and any further treatment would be extortionate. I now go to see a dental hygienist who is fine.ViewDate:
