So you’re just approaching or have already reached retirement? What’s next? As an over-sixty year old today you are a Trailblazer. You are likely to be very much healthier and live considerably longer than any previous generation of retiree. You’re also of an age group that is close to outnumbering the young. So why should they have all the fun? The grey pound is particularly strong, and the so-called Third Age holds the largest proportion of the country’s disposable income. Long-term empty-nesters have more money and leisure time than ever, so they cannot be ignored. But they still have to find the smoothest way to cross the chasm from full-time work to retirement and then make the most of the huge variety of opportunities open to them. This requires forethought, planning, a sense of humour - and a copy of this book.

Michael Shea holds a PhD in economics. A former diplomat who was seconded to the UK Cabinet Office, he served in Africa, Germany, Romania and New York before becoming Press Secretary to Her Majesty the Queen. He has chaired many public sector organisations and commercial companies, and still sits on numerous boards. All of which has formed an admirable preparation for his active non-retirement, which he also spends as a writer of novels and non-fiction, as a consultant, and as a popular public speaker.
