Retirement in the sun - everyone's dream - yet reality only for some. Hermann Hiemcke, manager for 20 years of a luxurious sheltered housing project for well-heeled ex-pats in Spain, shares some entertaining stories of how residents at 'el Refugio' - affectionately labelled the 'Admirable Ones' and the 'Remorseful Old Sinners' - deal with various aspects of their old age. Hiemcke writes with a crisp style, sprinkling delicious humour into these engaging recollections. These treasured real-life tales are poignant reminder that a sense of humour and an independence of mind can ease the way in those 'senior' years, that life's advantages and disadvantages are all part of an adventures to be cherished. This is a gem of a book that should be compulsory reading for all who have a fear of ageing and the approaching end, which may be most of us. Entertaining and well-seasoned with wisdom, this book is a joy to read.
