roly, it will be some time before I return to the States cos I'm not convinced they've handled the covid situation situation well at all.
I get regular updates from friends over there and it is still rife and rising. We've completed 30 Sates to date but I cannot see us realising our dream of doing all 50 now due to the situation.

I keep threatening to join PokermillersSwinton in walking football but never get around to it.

Pmsl Brin! I know i am fond of my typos but U3A is correct NOT USA!Universal Third Age for owd buggers like me and thee and owder. Not awarethey do any form of cricket in the USA but I'm sure Camiller, CT miller and Sota etc will correct me.

I didn't save hard. just joined a company that blasted my £40/week to £120 / week for 30 years. plus army pension. never invested nowt.

And I'm pleased for you pal that you are enjoying your retirement comfortably. I'm no Rothchilds just an ordinary working class retired bloke who hopefully sees many years ahead of himself. I put the years in now I enjoy my holidays abroad like everyone else chooses their choice of holidaying.

What do you do in your spare time now Brin apart from trying to tick every state off in the USA!

Get abroad as much as I can for the weather, culture, food, different places etc. Fishing, football, shhhh.... house husband so all the shopping and cooking that goes with it ;D, reading, on line scrabble to keep the brain active, DIY and I love entertaining guests at our home to meals and drinking etc.

You'd be surprised. There's quite a lot of recreational cricket in the US, mainly fueled by UK, Aussie, Indian ex-pats of course.
