We’re Andy and Julie — a couple in our 60s who have just completed an unforgettable year-long sabbatical travelling around the UK and abroad to celebrate turning 60. After over 100 videos from our “year out,” we’re now stepping into a brand-new chapter.
After returning to work, we realised how important it is to keep adventure at the heart of our lives. And now, 8 months later, Julie has officially retired — ready for a fresh start and a new sense of freedom. While Andy continues working, Julie (and Teddy!) are exploring life after retirement with everyday adventures, countryside walks, travel plans and simple moments of joy.
We’d love for you to join us as we navigate this exciting stage of life — balancing work, retirement and adventure.
👉 Subscribe and follow along as we discover what “Chapter Next” really means. Your support means the world to us. ❤️
If you missed our big year out, grab a cuppa (or a beer!) and enjoy the journey with us.

Julie & Andy's Year Out & More, Carpediem !
Hi everyone ,
Andy and I are now in the Dordogne and loving our time here being closer to our Grand daughter . Last week we made spontaneous decision to go on a road trip further south to escape the rain . How lucky are we that we can do this. We explored part of the Canal du Midi which stretches from Toulouse and the Mediterranean Sea. We are excited to launch a short this evening on the top 5 things to do on the Canal du Midi . We would love to get some feedback on this short as we are finding this format a bit harder to work with . Please let us know what you think
