And who don’t have a huge support network or many family members. What are your plans when the children are grown up?

Here are mine!

Solo travel to European countries like Denmark, Finland, Norway etc, If possible stay for a few weeks/one month per year in a different country 🌎

Study for a masters degree/professional development.

Travel with ladies travel groups. Activities with ladies groups such as theatre shows and meals out.

Get a couple of cats! 🐈

Spend time with my children when I see them. (Grandchildren??)

Connect with friends for coffees or drinks.

Possibly join the WI 🧶 🍰

I’m open to suggestions!

What are everyone’s plans?

Decorate my house! It's pretty much as it was when we were together and I can't wait to make it colourful and beautiful (and mine!)

I'm learning to surf and looking forward to some exotic surf retreats in Sri Lanka and elsewhere.

I'm a few years off retirement yet but I have a plan to live for a few months in Paris and visit all the different museums and fancy restaurants.
