If any of you down south lot with a bit of spare cash, want to move to the beautiful north west and have 600k to spare let me know.
Anyway, until then dreams of retiring are on hold.

As I approach my longest stint on the bench in, what - 18 years or so, this is something I need to give some serious thought.
I'm seriously thinking about doing something quite menial like buying a pickup and pulling in some landscaping work, Relatively minimal initial outlay and bags of work to be had judging by all the posts on local FB pages; obviously not anywhere near the renumeration of an IT gig but with my mortgage almost paid up, I could certainly do this so long as my body holds together....
...and I thnik it would make me a lot happier.

I hope to be in better shape than I have been in the past (and that includes the ciggies and beer).

A group of 60 people who live together in a large house say they are thriving during the cost-of-living crisis.
The Old Hall community share a former friary in East Bergholt, Suffolk, where they live off 65 acres (26 hectares) of land.
They are working towards self-sufficiency in energy and food, with group meals prepared on a rota system.
The manor house has 130 rooms, shared between 44 adults and 15 children plus volunteers and guests.
