The first year

Well we have just come to the end of our first year of retired togetherness (Arthur having had 2 years at home before me).

So what have we been doing ....

The garden is looking good, we are experts on CSI, addicted to House MD and have a new King sized bed! And of course as Lily knows only too well Arthur and the dogs are very partial to the couch.

Our Grandchildren are all growing fast. We love spending time with them and watching them develop into the thinkers and doers of the future.

In the last year there has been the patter of many tiny feet at Lawrence's, fortunately all furry. Very cute but responsible for a couple of weeks of disturbed nights.

We have also been travelling and I have been to Florida 3 times. In May we went together, taking TJ (Thierry John) with us so he could chill out with his cousin Lily Kai.

Welcome to our first blog entry.

When I have read others I thought just how hard can it be. Well the hardest part was getting started .... coming up with a title, choosing a template and selecting the photo (especially as we don't have many taken together!).

Now I have made a start I'm hoping it will get easier and that someone will enjoy reading it. This seems to be a great way to keep friends and family in touch with what we are doing with our retirement.
