This is our very first blog, ever, and we hope you will enjoy all the forthcoming blogs, interviews, podcasts and stories about some exceptional people, pensioners who still can, a select few of the 11 million+ in the UK currently.
We consider them exceptional, but they mostly do not about themselves, preferring to simply get on doing what they do best and enjoy life with family and friends. We want to highlight their abilities – pensioners about pensioners.
Some do not like the ‘P’ word it seems, but during our research all were very pleased to have made it thus far! Keep playing!
You will see remarkable attitudes. Is it in their genes (it would have been in their jeans and kaftans back in the 60’s and 70’s) or is it an attitude formed throughout their lives?
Every year pensioner numbers increase, and we hope many more generations will follow.
They might well have to make provision for their future in a different financial way than us, and pay greater attention to the ballot box. In the meantime they can observe how some of this generation of exceptional people think & play and then link these to go about much of their lives.
One more point now please. ‘We’ currently really means ‘I’. Until I can find other pensioners to join me on this journey, and / or, I co-opt guest writers, then there is only so much one person can learn and do!
Please bear with me as I navigate this new crazy journey. Thanks.
