A year ago today was my first day as a retired person. I have enjoyed every moment of it so far. Rare and far apart are the moments when I think about about work. Usually a nightmare in fact.

I have made the right choice by moving away and starting a new life in a new place. Carcassonne was the right choice.

Now that I am settled in, I need to meet more people and indeed this is one of my resolution for 2018. To achieve this I have joined the Rotary Club, golf club and the old car club. All in the past few days. That should move things along.

First visitors will be here in 2 weeks. Quite a few more are planned for the rest of the year.

For holidays, we shall stay in Europe this year.

Life is good.
