Fascinating mix of experience on this forum.
I used to be Head of Children & families Social Services for a county. Bailed out, couldn't stand the politics. Spent a while doing independent inquiries into deaths of children in local authority care. Enough was enough....Sailed away over 20 years back in a boat we built in the back garden!
Since then I've been a rigger/boatbuilder, qualified as a Yacht & Commercial Surveyor, finally retired, and spend my time fixing stuff for the locals here who don't have the tools, expertise or often just the money to pay to get their trucks, water pumps, tractors etc. back in working order. In return we get hay for the donkey, buckets of vegetables and some great friends.
Complete change of life best thing I ever did.
What a lovely way to live - good on yer!
