Preparing for retirement
Retirement is a time to de-stress, relax and make the most of life. However, preparing for retirement can be challenging.
If you’re approaching retirement, you may well be contemplating different things, such as when is the best time to retire and also how you’ll keep yourself occupied.
No doubt, you’re also considering where to retire. You may prefer to stay in your local area, or you may consider relocating somewhere new. If you’ve not yet made up your mind, then a helpful practice is to consider all the things you enjoy doing most and look for areas that best support them.

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
