On getting Old

Is it 3 years? Time flys when you are having fun. I have been working for over 30 years now. I have been planning some form of escape for at least the last ten. I have finally bought somewhere to escape to - a place in France in the Charente. All my travels over the years that I have worked must have sunk in and I find myself often wanted to be somewhere other than the UK. The house is owned by us. No mortgage and no debts. If everything goes tits up then there is always somewhere we can go to with central heating and a pool (but no heating in the pool yet). A house for all seasons and I hope a house we can live in if or when I retire or at least somewhere I can go to when I cut down the work time.
