The Plan

I'm lucky enough to be in my Enjoy phase now. I was planning my big move for over 40 years. First attempt didn't work out so well, but determination and graft plus a heap of good fortune has put me where I am now. Never give up on the dream people!

Regards Rick. Met you previously.out in October and will look you up..deffo owe you a drink for keeping my spirits up in a couple of dark days.regards to you and Shelly👍

I am so proud of my kids, they all have plans wish seem to be flowering now, My Daughter spent years working with hearing aids and then trained to be an Audiologist. Next on her list was a baby, she is due in November and her and partner and moving into their new home next week. One of my Sons has spent 6 year on his Uni degree, he graduates next week with a first. My other son planned to travel around the world, which he did for 2 years then came back. He will come on holiday with us this year then he will go back to Australia. There he has a job, car and place to live waiting for him, his boss is paying his flight to get him back over. My plan ? To sit back with a glass of wine and wait to see if they need me.

In the famous words of Hannibal Smith.... "I love it when a plan comes together"... Nice one Rick..

Nice One Rick .

Can relate to this perfectly, nice one Rick

Lovely location and walk. Thanks for taking us along.

Rick ,a very powerful video and i would say the plan was courageous cause it takes courage to say i am up rooting myself abroad for the greater good cause for one it might not have worked shelley might have stood you up and your heart will be aching to hug your children so you say choices which it was but a courageous one and chuffed it has worked out ,stay happy Rick

There is no secret sauce to parenting, there is not a magic ingredient. There is not just one thing that we need to do. If there was, it would be a heck of a lot easier, its vital though that we are with them every step to love, support, challenge, making sure we acknowledge and appreciate the life choices they do make. You're a lucky man Rick, you've been through the mill, but the end result is what you always wanted, 2 happy, healthy daughters living their best life. That's a bloody good job well done I'd say. ❤️❤️

I come from divorced parents too.

Great vlog Rick. Very thought provoking. How do we arrive at where we are in life. How much was a plan. How much is sometimes down to decisions that others make that affect your life. And the plan changes.

You are a good guy rick

It’s such a relief when you come out the other side Rick.Fail to prepare …prepare to fail

You know my past mate, I had to change my life and end the life I was in. Big move and like you I had a sort of plan, now just waiting for my new build house and loving life with a fantastic person (Lisa). Your a top man and total respect to you - hoping to see you both soon! 😉

Enjoyed that Rick. You have a real talent being able to talk to camera like that. Well done.
