Hi Peter,welcome from Scotland.
Great to hear you're beating the 'big one' into submission.
There's quite a few folks here have gone(and are going) through a similar situation to yourself.
You'll find everything you need(and more) here at the 'bolt.
How leisurely do you mean? I'm 6 years into my '50!
In my mind I want it finished tomorrow but the bank balance says NO!
Take your time and enjoy yourself,remember Rome wasn't built in a day!
Good luck on your new adventure.
Jock.
