Enjoying retirement in Britain

I have hitherto resented being retired, but I am now enjoying making up for lost time. This is thanks to your magazine which has opened my eyes to the wealth of beauty, history, rich traditions and culture synonymous with Great Britain. I am now seeing the countryside with almost raw wonder. I have started seeking out local artisans as well as visiting museums and stately homes and other places of beauty and interest. Furthermore, my interest in cooking has been resurrected – the recipes are a treat!
