A great time of the year to retire Mark, I hope you reap all the benefits of early retirement, Mike is planning to retire early too although it will be another eight years for him.

I think crazy weather was happening everywhere this past year, it certainly wasn't "normal" here. Let's hope 2016 turns out better.

Best wishes as you head to retirement. I'm in my 6th year of it and my husband will join me in November.<br /><br />Weather is crazy here too. If it continues my garlic will soon start producing scapes.

And now that you will be able to spend even more time in the garden - which is good for the body and soul - I have no doubt that your health will improve in the process.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-92015188826010095102016-01-01T15:55:40.054+00:002016-01-01T15:55:40.054+00:00Welcome to retirement, Mark.

I got retired "early" myself and it was strange at first, but I also saw a big improvement in my health after being removed from the stress of a high tech job, and you might too. That big farmhouse you are buying with your lottery winnings looks big enough for a B&B. Then we will all come and visit you and Jane. Have a great New Year.David Veltenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710293718143454000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-15323542387280320812016-01-01T15:46:39.339+00:002016-01-01T15:46:39.339+00:00Happy new year Mark - I too suffer from fibromyalg...Happy new year Mark - I too suffer from fibromyalgia so know what you must go through. Retirement will probably feel strange to start with and the changes in your financial situation - but you just cut your cloth accordingly.

I am sure you won't either. Your income may be halved but there is a knock on effect of not needing work suits every year, your expenditure will change in all sorts of ways. I am sure Jane will keep you well supplied with holidays.<br /><br />We both retired in March too with the summer ahead of us.
