Weekly update – lovin’ the heat!

About

In 2018 I retired from a stressful job aged 56.  It was one of the best decisions I have ever made; my health has improved and it is turning out to be a very happy time of life.

Here in my blog I’ll be talking about personal finances, my Christian faith, lifestyle, family things, health and fitness.

Comments are really welcome along with other interactions on my blog, so please enjoy reading and let me know what you think.

See the About page for more.
