This place got me thinking ABOUT LIFE

[@saltaireorangebicyclechopp8555]

So many people say (often at funerals) "You've got to live each day as your last"! But then return to doing the same miserable 9-5. The last straw for me was seeing my best pals name on a "Died in service" plaque, 58 years old. I retired the next month.....

If you don't know, there is a good dedicated flat cycle path linking Alicante to Elche, it makes for a great day out. Really healthy both ways, or one way, beer and the train back. 😁

Really enjoying the Scottish couple's videos.This latest one is wonderful and it is telling me to overcome my fears and do it!My fears don't lie inthe actual physical move but in coping with the bureaucracy and paperwork..Here's hoping I manage it!

That was very philosofical Barry. Having got over the initial depression I think I could understand what you were trying to say. You do have to live yur life for you and if you can help and be kind to others along the way, all the better. I have been quite adventurous in my life including going on a two week holiday to Spain and returning to the UK 12 years later. I am brim full of amazing experiences throughout my life and I only wish I could have done more. My take on life is to follow your dreams. If it does'nt work out, you can allways go back but at least you tried and you will be all the wiser and more fullfilled. 😀👍

Comming from a funeral directors back ground my dad always used to say is “life isn’t a dress rehearsal. “

You have to live every day.. no matter where u live. I love spain- but there’s a big world out there. 😊live where u want. Most importantly be kind.. 😊and most important be healthy. 😊

Getting deep, careful, it can get muddy in those thoughts. Years ago, I pinned two mottos up on my pinboard in front of my desk. "Fortune Favours the Brave", a very true statement that reminds us that when things get dark, the best attitude is to fight through. And, a great idea can only be known when it is experienced in action. The other is in Latin, "A motus animi continuus", which like all Latin phrases holds various ways to interpret, but means that if you keep moving you will always gain momentum. The small good things will snowball into better things... Cheers for another video, you've got sunshine down there, up here in the North it's drizzling, dull, and unpleasant weather. I'm sure spring will return one day in the future 🙂

[@DerekFerrie-ts3kr]

You been on the Carrahilios this morning Barry? Always njoy ur videos .

[@davidkelly-cl4mj]

Aye very true in what ye say. It's easy too get stuck in the rat race but so much harder to step out of it and do what you have always dreamed of doing. For most folk its too hard to much of a risk. But. What's the risk really. We're here for a good time not a long time. Knowing when to get off the hamster wheel is critical. Everyone is different, circumstance is different. But Knowing when its time too exit the rat race is critical. Seems like you timed it just right

[@enemde3025]

Very deep there Barry 🤔 Hasta luego 🏖

[@martinwillcox6652]

Bloody hell Baz rather profound, I found that quite depressing, anyway as you say, merry Christmas to you and your lovely wife

[@lynchyt9b]

boss vid barry all the best to you both in 25

[@martinquinn9007]

You no so true Barry

[@gerardohagan2955]

My biggest achievement is a happy family life with 4 brilliant kids and 4 (so far) fantastic grandkids . I look forward to retirement in Spain in about 5 years but could die happily before then if that's God's will.

[@davidmillar4479]

Very philosophical,Barry. Enjoyed the video. Mind you a more important question. What happens to you after this life is over? Where will you spend eternity?

[@derekriddell2980]

Hi Baz as Christmas is around the corner, think of the meaning of Christmas, go to the Christmas Services,

[@jomckenziesloan5678]

Wow Barry, life and death and taxes hey ho life goes on and we strive for our dreams, money is the oil that turns the wheel unfortunately. Merry Christmas to you, Karen and yours ❤

[@Robot-i1v]

What’s elche like ? Thought you were in Alicante there

[@christinecleavest9099]

Exactly why I left the rat race work life I had in the states. All the best to ya both going forward in 2025!

[@stevendeacy7399]

Oooh , just to sum up , have a lot of possessions that people aspire to , £3m worth of properties classic cars and motorcycles, rental properties 1960s Aston Martin etc etc . And I don’t have the lifestyle you have , with sunny days and time on my hands just to enjoy myself. The most positive tv programme on at the moment is brits in the sun because they all love it . Very philosophical your content and something to act on and not think about. Not looking forward to the British winter. Ok there is the carrot and the stick.

[@jackiemay6357]

Be careful baz you'll either turn into a philosopher or starmer and his mates will have you taken down in fear of their tax losses 😂😂

[@KeithRobertson-h1h]

You stole most of that quote from Johnny Depp when Shane magowan died.

[@ScottishCoupleInSpain]

Did he? NO idea. I was just doing my usual, walking and talking about my thoughts. Great minds think alike as they say.

[@richardsmith4643]

As my dad used to say your along time dead Baz
