48 and fighting

[leadboots]

Hello,

I've just joined and wanted to say hello to everyone.

I'm from the UK and I'm looking to retire from full time work by the time that I'm 50. I have a few irons in the fire but because of the recession I may have to adjust my plans slightly and wait for another year or two.

I live in the southwest of England, in Devon and would not want to live anywhere else because it's just SO beautiful.

welcome! I hope those lead boots served you well in the recent snows.

They did indeed

My husband calls me Lead Boots because he says that I drive too fast (due to my heavy feet pressing too hard on the accelerator).

We had quite a bit of snow recently but now it's all gone and back to raining again. Rain isn't nice but it's a whole lot better than snow - at least you can get around.
