You will miss driving Harvey, I still do after 15+ years away from it, but the trick is to keep yourself busy. I do the housework, cooking, washing, shopping etc plus assist neighbours with odd jobs besides tinkering with my two vehicles plus old engines and machinery etc. I fully intended getting involved with voluntary work or assisting somebody with a truck restoration project or similar but just haven’t had the time!! Worst thing you can do is be idle, keep yourself active and just enjoy ‘driving’ via this forum when you get a few minutes spare and believe me when folk find you have certain skills and are willing to help out when needed you will rarely be out of work.Pete.
Sound advice Pete, I could do with someone like you living next door to me, just reading what you do “now” makes me want to sit down. Cheers and thanks again. Harvey
Like Pete I don’t have time to do all the things I want to! Sundays I plan and ride the route for the , “Old Codgers” Cycle Group I run, Monday with the “Codgers” we ride the route ,usually about 25 miles. Now the weather has improved i look after mine and my elderly neighbour’s gardens, that takes quite a bit of time, Thursday is my volunteer driving day for the ladies of the local Blind Club. They are fantastic and as mad as a box of frogs!! I also do a trailer change at Immingham usually on a Friday or Saturday. As you can see I don’t have much spare time on my hands. This retirement is so relaxing!! 
I also try to get a bike ride in mid week, as well as cycling the 10 miles to work and back on Friday depending on the weather.Regards Kev.
