    Where would you like to retire to?
    It's a long way off for me and many here, but I was away on hols recently and saw lots of happily retired people and it got me thinking.

    I like it here in the summer climate-wise, but would like to be somewhere warm from Oct - March/April. Possibly spain or the likes.

    You?





    and oooooh,cool story bro':rolleyes:

    Have two places in mind.
    Nice, Southern France or St Ives in Cornwall.
    Been to both and both beautiful places.

    Cornwall is a good idea.....nice place to kick back yet not far from the emerald isle.

    A house in the middle of nowhere well stocked with guitars, booze and an 8 track.

    Well if I was to retire right now it would be in Spain, but like my parents I won't because you would miss the kids and gran kids too much to leave.

    Anyway, in 30-40 years time will we not have a Mediterranean climate? :)
