A few things about me and the site:
- I’m a mid fifty-something having had a public sector career
- my escape plan allowed me into early retirement in August 2018 – in fact I’m on FIRE (Financially Independent, Retired Early)
- we are not super-rich. We are just ordinary people
- so keen to take good care of myself. I am teetotal, I don’t smoke and I avoid meat (save a little fish). I have minimised my caffeine intake in recent years
- I’m looking to use my time well; being creative, learning a few new things and trying to nurture a “serving heart”
- will be blogging even more, pushing a few doors to see which ones open – I feel quite excited!
- I am always optimistic and have a bright outlook on life
- I’m a Christian
- running and, to a certain extent cycling, has been a real life saver for me. It helps me to stay in good shape, both physically and mentally. As for the Runner’s High, well it’s fantastic and I’m sure I’ll be talking about that sometime
- married to Rachel, for life. We have two grown up daughters
- I have had my share of stress on and off over the years. Looking on the bright side, each time it has worked out well for me and have come out stronger. I dare say I’ll be talking about stress and managing it well
- we live in Bedfordshire, England
