Tired of the pace and noise of life near London and longing for a better place to raise their young children, Mary J. MacLeod and her husband, George, encountered their dream while vacationing on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides. Enthralled by its windswept beauty, they soon were the proud and startled owners of a near-derelict croft house - a farmer’s stone cottage - on “a small acre” of land. Mary assumed duties as the island’s district nurse.

What a joy!
I know that everyone has a different idea of what retirement means, and what they’re going to do. But sometimes going for a very structured work environment to so many possibilities. It’s hard to focus. This was a awesome book to get me off my fanny and start living life. Life is too short to just sit home binge watching old reruns. Great book.

Full of Great Ideas
I work for a corporation in the financial / investing space, and I often read a lot of content about planning for retirement, but one of the pain points that people face a few months after retirement is their sense of purpose and what to do with their life. I think this book really nails that problem because it gives retirees some more hopes and dreams, plus fun ways to enjoy retirement. I also love how the book also teaches seniors side hustles they can do to make a little income and feel like they are still able to contribute to society.
