Any room in the lounge please?

Hi all, today is my first official day of retirement. I have been signed off with Ill health retirement , but it all counts.
On Monday we will be moving down from Surrey to the Sunshine Coast of Eastbourne ( not far from the boss caretaker).
I have adopted a section of beach where I can put my 26 of site manager extortion good use by litter picking.
Looking forward to the sea air, swimming and decent Ice cream.

Take care all.
wake me up before you gogo.

Welcome to the old gougers lounge Welshunk, now you can relax by the sea and do exactly as you want when you want and where you want, as you know i am just outside Skegness in Lincolnshire so same as you beach walks and so on. I have been bust as a team member on a event which we started way back in September last year and after all that time we finally put on the event last weekend called The Wainfleet Revival Event which was reviving an event the town had almost 15 years ago. We had a fun fair, carnival parade and a show ground with stalls selling all sorts of stuff, bars, food, dog show, classic car shoe, games , tug of war and football competitions so you name it we had it and it was a 100% success, stay safe m8.

Happy retirement Welshhunk.

I'm a little way off myself but I believe you need to pay your way into the lounge with Chocolate Hobnobs. [Happy.png]

Just in time for Airbourne- the free air displays etc. I don't live far from the town but in the opposite direction to Caretaker.

A very big welcome to the aches and pains dept. We still like our chocolate Hobnobs so as Keyolder says, tea and biscuits has just become your job
