Thank goodness for Lily's Cottage, what a live saver!
So you're thinking retiring for real this time? You've made such a success of Lily's Cottage, hopefully you can sell it as a going concern and hei a good price for it, then you can truly start your retirement life and relax. I'm sure that's what Arthur would want for you
Hi Pauline, yes the time has come to stop working and go into full retirement and have more time to let my hair down.
I will really miss the house, seeing old guests and meeting fascinating people from all walks of life! But I will still keep in touch with some.
I would have reached 2 milestones - 50 years in the house, and the BnB will be 10 years old in October 2025.
Property transfers take anything from 3-6 months so I'll cut off online bookings end Dec 2025.
I hope to get a good price as the cottage is generating a good income.
You're so right, Arthur would want me to slow down and enjoy life.
I want to travel and see more of the world.
