Reviewing retirement from a distance

Posted on September 21, 2018September 21, 2018

I’m writing this retirement blog at a point when we’re roughly half way through our three week Scottish trip. You might describe this as the time of maximum distance. We’re not quite at the very top but it’s close. We’re in a place called Scourie which, as hopefully you can see from the photos, is…

Retirement, caravanning, the adventure goes on at Kinlochewe* and beyond

Posted on September 14, 2018

Life in a caravan, or three weeks of my life, and that can seem like a lifetime, is perfectly encapsulated by the object on the right. In case you hadn’t recognised it, it’s a shower head. You’ll have to look hard at the photo for the bit in question. This shower head may be ‘specially-designed’…
