We had a day trip to Nottingham. Not the most glamorous of places but their sandstone caves are amazing. We went there for a few days last year but one of the cave tours under tha Castle was closed. Its open now so we went up to see it. Very interesting history relating to Edward II and Edward III, especially the grizzly fate of Roger Mortimer, who tried to stop the very young E-III getting the crown.

Lunch at The Old Trip To Jeruselam before heading home. One of several places claiming to be England's oldest pub some of the bar is inside one of the sandstone caves. Fascinating place!

Good man Mav. Take my word for it, in 12 months time you'll be wondering how the hell you found the time to hold down a job.

Enjoy your retirement. Time for another bike maybe?

Congrats Mav. Another few years for me alas, as I'm looking forward to proving Gary right.

'congratz mav. enjoy the do what you want today stage of life' yep that's how it should be. Don't know what happened to mine though! Can you do this, can you do that?
Seriously hope you have a great long retirement. Took me a while to get use to it but as Gary says 'how did you find time to hold down a job' If only I had twice the energy!
