Wayne that is so sad. i lost my wife shortly after we both retired but retirement has been kind to me with camping, central to my enjoyment.My elder brother took early retirement at 61, we have watched him go downhill health wise since then, his funeral is next Monday. As much as I hate hitting the road on 2 wheels to avoid Birmingum traffic 5 days a week, I will carry on until I'm 67. He turned 66 late December and didn't get to see his first state pension payment. Life's a bitch etc... My mother, on the other hand, is 96 this year, beaten cancer 3 times, never worked a day in her life! Go figure!

@Drive Waynefirst of all so sorry to hear @moomin-j -j of your brother passing, there doesnt seem to be rhyme nor reason. Our thoughts are with you and we wish you celebrate his life as it should be.
Just enjoy the experiences and friends you can, whilst you can. Material things don't really mean that much, albeit we sometimes strive for them, but that's pretty normal.
Thinking of you for Monday. Ali
Saw they had extended the calendar, we are looking to go to the Chatsworth site when it gets a bit warmer...Chatsworth CAMC.
Two days of leave to use up before end of the the leave year, and a free night to boot!
They were due to close early March but they must have had an extension to the lease, as they are now booking to September.
