Former local council worker Gill Malone turned 75 this year and celebrated in style. She took a two-week trip travelling around Italy with her childhood friend Jeanie. It’s one of many holidays she’s enjoyed since she retired at 65.
“I’ve worked hard, looked after my money and put a variety of insurances in place for my future, so it’s now time to enjoy my retirement,” says Malone, who lives in Newbury, Berkshire. “It was worth being a bit careful because now I can relax in comfort.”
