This is my first serious attempt at a blog. I chose the name “The Platinum Line” because Platinum is a precious metal associated with the number seventy. When you have been married for seventy years you celebrate your platinum wedding anniversary.

I celebrated my seventieth birthday in March 2022and the Queen also celebrated her platinum jubilee in 2022

Many years ago I worked in a laboratory and used platinum electrodes. Platinum is a dull grey metal but it can be an important catalyst for many things.

I use this site to talk about subjects that interest me like history and travel and to connect with other people with similar interests. This blog also covers general retirement matters such as health, relationships and retirement planning.

 My tag line is “financing the fun after retirement” is because I think there is no point telling you how I love travelling at home and abroad without also giving you some idea of how I finance my lifestyle. 

What I enjoy most about blogging is the chance to connect with people with similar interests. I love it if you leave a comment or visit my Facebook page and if you enjoy reading my posts please subscribe to get my latest updates automatically.

  1. Thank you for these ideas. While I’m not especially short of cash I enjoy doing surveys and it’s nice to be rewarded for it. I already do YouGov ones and may try Prolific as that sounds interesting 🙂

  2. Having trouble getting the comment box to load. I think it is something on my end. Wanted to comment on the Wales post. Have just realized how much of my ancestry leads back to Great Britain. Hoping to plan a trip there within the next year or so. Have pinned your post for future reference.

Don't be shy I would love to hear from you. If this is your first visit your comment will be held for moderation to avoid spam.
