Hello, haha...basically I don't do fun, (chuckles), I retired early due to arthritis making my life difficult, so as a new..ish retiree, I do a bit of gardening when the knees and hands are good, I have become the house husband, so do what chores I can as I can, do the weekly shopping and chat to my other neighbours if we see each other ( usually on the bin days). I retired in February 2020 and then we hit the covid scares, so the wife and I spent most of our time voluntary at home, we are content with each others company and we each have our own interests. I spent 2020 mucking about chasing my family tree, got more educated about geneology over time and followed back a few generations. Lot's of activities while staying indoors thru the winter, now spring is sprung there are plenty of weeds to be had.

Did you uncover anything interesting when checking out your genealogy??

@Goodbloke I can't imagine coming from such a large family. I don't think I'd be able to keep track of all my cousins.
