The olive oil is from Italy
But as said, more a hint than a business. I have some 1000-1500 bottles of 0.5 liters a year. Almost everything goes to family and friends….
Two and a bit more weeks, and I will (early) retire from executive functions in business. And these three items will ...
.... play a more prominent role in my "new life": - my scribble book where I make notes since a few months as to 1) who to (re-)connect with, 2) what to do (sort of bucket list) and 3) where to invest. - a nice Caran d'Ache fountain pen for jotting down i...
Congrats, S! Fourteen years into retirement I constantly wonder . . .
. . . how it was possible to get thru 50+ hour workweeks for decades and still have a life. Best, Art
Yip, crazy stuff. I took the decision more than 6 month ago and I a full of plans ....
.... and new activities which are much closer to my heart. Cheers, HSTE
One word of advice: do . . .
. . . not avoid spending money on an expense you can barely afford yet can't quite justify presently. And yes, I mean splurges like tickets for the Stones shows in July. You'll regret not making the sacrifice later. Art
Thanks Art....
I continuously doubt and question myself to those ends.... Much appreciated, Filip
Thank you! But let's also be honest: to do this (I mean: early), you need....
.... to a) financially afford it and b) have a solid plan "post retirement". And not everyone is in the fourtunate position to have a) and/or b). Cheers, HSTE
Fully agree good points, that’s why I now make olive oil 😀
On a very small scale though…. Dirk
No, I’m afraid not.
Will see if I can ship one of the new harvest this autumn. Cheers, Dirk

Thanks!
It’s not for sale then, like all good stuff. Insomma grazie per la risposta, e se un giorno decidi a vendergli facci sapere di qua.
Congratulations!
I just stepped down from my operational role and retired to the board on Jan 1. It does feel great! Wishing you much joy and rewarding moments in this new chapter! I want to add to your points a and b. In my experience, what is also needed is the dream to...
Thank you Micheal, and please, let me know if and when you ever plan to ....
....go to remote Le Brassus! Cheers, HSTE
Yes sir. I visited there last June
I hope to come again to see the new factory and will let you know!
Congratulations to you.
The small colored accents on the pen really make it stand out.
Fantastic❣️ Great move! Wish you lots of inspiration and energy to try/do new things…
And I hope, that you can also appreciate this position and can be grateful for it. Because, as you said, not many have this chance! Make the best out of it… ❣️🍀☀️🤩
Congratulations!
Jealous but overwhelmingly happy for you, I, sadly or fortunately depending from which side you look at it, have over a decade to go… But as I see you gave great plans and even better company!
Congratulations on your decision and best of luck in your new life.
I retired early at 61 and never looked back. The hobby I selected to celebrate was collecting watches. Be careful 😊💸
Ha, same age at retirement ;-)
And as to collecting watches: I obviously started that way earlier, went over to my "hoarding phase" but - going forward - will rather work on gently sizing down. Cheers, HSTE
Congratulations!
Would love to hear your thoughts as you spend more time with the L&C chrono.
IMHO it is a very fine watch: the dimensions are perfect (for me at least) .....
.... it is fairly slim thanks to the handwound movement (and here again: I have a personal preference for handwound). The quality of the make (movement, case, dials, smoothness of the pushers etc.) is great. I like the design (I have the "Breguet" with bl...
Congrats! Would love to follow your path but...
...I have at least 12 more years of work ahead of me. Long wait unfortunately :-(
