I was lucky enough to retire from the Fire Service at 55, my aunt, brought up in a different era, asked what I was going to do next.
Climb every hill in the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales I told her, plus visiting every racecourse in the North of England. What about a job she asked. I'm retired Aunty I told her, she was appalled, a fit able bodied man of 55 choosing not to work, it just didn't compute with her.
Bollox to that, if you enjoy your job then you might well want to carry on working, I enjoyed mine, but being free of it is ten times better. The day I walked out of Nelson Fire Station with the bonus of ten years extra free time all to myself was the best day of my life.
