Often when you think you're at the end of something, you're at the beginning of something else.

Retirement is not the end of your working years but rather the start of something new. With more time on your hands than ever before, filling your days may seem harder than you expected and can leave you wondering 'exactly what do I do now?' This book provides a wide range of upbeat suggestions on ways to luxuriate in your new-found time. Whether it is learning a new language, taking up a new hobby or simply spending more time with friends and family, Things To Do Now That You're Retired is packed with inspirational ideas.

It aims to encourage readers to make the most of their retirement, to appreciate the extra time they have in pursuing activities they enjoy while also exploring new ones. As well as encouraging you to make the most of every opportunity, this book makes suggestions for how to come to terms with yourself, your friends and your family in this new phase of your life.

Why not try your hand at:

- Becoming a stargazer - buy a telescope and tune into the Milky Way

- Dancing the night away, let your body bend, twist and spin to the beat - do whatever comes naturally

- Learning to skim stones

- Leave your cares behind and hit the open road in a camper van

Also available in the series:

Things to Do Now That You're a Dad, Things To Do Now That You're a Mum, Things to Do Now That You're a Grandparent, Things to Do Now That You're 40, Things to Do Now That You're 50, Things to Do Now That You're 60, and Things to Do Now That You're 70
