I'm looking for feedback from other members I am considering selling my home and moving an hour and a half from where I have lived all my life. I am fit and young for my age but know this won't last forever. I was hoping to build a new life out of London. I have found an area I would like to move to but it is a huge step. My sons are grown and have their own lives, I rarely see them, although I chat most days to the youngest. I see my Grandson and daughter-in-law twice a month for a nice day out but I could still do this. I have friends but they have partners and are caught up with their stresses in life. I recently visited the area I want to go to the locals were friendly and whilst lunching in the pub advised me about what was on at the community centre etc. It's a huge step and would like feedback from others that had done this on their own.

I've been forced to retire due to a medical illness. I try to keep busy with projects around the house. But ... I'm looking for ideas for the winter ... It can be tough on me due to my illness in the cold. Any recommendations?

I am a Canadian citizen, retired, female, and searching for a country to retire in Europe or Asia, even Africa, where the sidewalks are without ice and the housing will not take 3/4 of my income! It would be nice to have a straight female moving with me to settle as neighbours in a strange country.

If you have pre 1997 service and are now a PPF member it will be zero inflation rated. The Deprived Pensioners Ass (DPS) are attempting to change that and need your help, https://www.deprivedpensioners.org/

Having both reached retirement age rcently we feel in need of some winter sun. I know a lot of mature folk spend their winter abroad but when I look I am only finding holidays of 14 to 28 days. I'm looking for holidays in Spain that take full advantage of the 3 months you are allowed to holiday there but that don't cost the earth. Has anyone any tips or suggestions please as to where I can find long stay breaks that don't break the bank?

I'm new to this forum and retired fully from the world of education in April 2021. Since then I have been busy with all sorts of things and I'm glad I don't have to face the morning commute amongst many other aspects of working life. But...the experience of retirement and considering the next twenty years is on my mind and I am thinking about a self-help book for women on the subject. I want to know if there are women out there who would be prepared to share their experiences of retirement? Maybe an initial message -then leading to a proper conversation?

I thought after I retired last year that I would find myself something to do that would take me out of home and meet up with people. As we all know it is difficult to find such a thing with the pandemic all around us. My wife passed away in 2019 and I don't have much in the way of family near where I live in semi-rural Lancashire. I believe I have had an interesting life. I did many jobs when I was younger until I settled on social work and qualified for this after some non-qualified, but nevertheless interesting, work in social care. I moved over to working in adult education after a time which enabled me to travel around the north-west. I miss the journeys I used to take with my late wife. We went around the UK finding out-of-the-way places to walk, enjoy the scenery and observe the wildlife. I always find things to do as I don't like just sitting around. I have brought my garden up to the standards that my late wife always used to. I like walking (although I can't get as far as I used to) and my hobbies include photography. I don't feel lonely as such but I do miss the companionship and realise that we never make as much of this as we should. I wold like to communicate with like minded people.
