How was your 2024?
Generally, 2024 was my best year in over a decade. I'm still adjusting to significant life changes. But I'm hoping that this is the start of year-on-year improvement.
What were your experiences?
Most significantly, I retired. Which gave me time to investigate and enjoy local attractions. Especially as retirement brings a free bus pass for UK residents.
What did you learn?
- West Yorkshire has a surprising amount of free attractions. And bus travel is fine when you have no deadlines.
- Life turns the circle in retirement. So playtime has become my most important part of life. Just as it is for my young grandsons.
What were the good things?
- More income due to my state pension. Giving me more opportunities for local exploring and playing out with friends old and new.
- Better enjoyment of Hive due to my focus on curation rather than new posts.
What were the bad ones?
There's a traditional English proverb, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". Whereas, I found that, "All play and no work makes Keith a poorly boy". Because, I neglected to recognise that I still need to work on basic health needs. Even though that's not my usual view of "work". So I'm focusing on daily routines for maintaining my physical and mental health. Incorporating them with playtime whenever I can.
It's great to hear such things and to see you enjoying your retirement.
About 35 years ago, I spent some time not far from where you live in the lake district. I was hiking from one village to the next and sleeping in youth hostels. This was pretty memorable. Have you visited the place?
Oh yes! I have many happy memories of the Lake District. Thanks to you, my next trip is now in the planning stage. Probably Derwent Water. But who knows?

That's a place that I hadn't visited. It look very beautiful.
I've only been once. I think 2025 will be a good year to repeat the experience.
