Thread: What do you like ?

After tomorrow I am hoping to be able to start thinking about taking up more hobbies again,although to start with have ordered a nice long hot summer to just laze & enjoy,at 63 & after working at the local vets for 40 years I am retiring & a day later at 66 hubby is joining me..... I am going to do an odd Saturday morning to help cover sickness & hols but that is it.
I too have had all sorts of animals here,started with dogs & moggie but when daughter came along gerbils,guinea pigs,rabbits & goldfish joined us & in the middle of it all a horse too now with child well & truly fledged we are left with our five MC's to keep us company & am really looking forward to having more quality time with them,we do show two of them & have made lots of friends doing that,have made friends with forum members & have met up with them & now looking forward to going & staying with one of them plus another coming to visit us again {guess what we talk about a lot of the time} used to do a lot of knitting but when you are getting called back into work all times of the day & night for emergencies plus run a home everything else seems to drop by the wayside,not that I haven't enjoyed my work but have to say that the last couple of years have been a lot easier as our out of hours work has been taken over by another surgery,it is rather nice knowing that you won't be got out of a snug warm pit at 2am on a blowy wet freezing night but going to be even nicer not having to have an alarm clock running our life . I do like walking so hoping to do more of that {as long as there is a coffee shop on route} hubby has his allotment & no doubt will spend even longer trying to make us live the good life. Daughter lives up on the Welsh/Shropshire border & except for the week we helped move her up there the weather has always been anti towards us so this year if forecast is good we are going to put all cats in car {she has a big cat pen} & just head off so we can do & see the things that are that much nicer when the sun shines on you......
Watch this space who is to say what will happen in the next year,I find at this stage of life you can't think the world is your oyster but hopefully we will still discover a small pearl or two along the next step of our route but as long as it includes a MC furry or two,three,four,five I will be a happy contented person......x
