Chapter 1: What magical experiences did David have in Mevagissey?
Hi. Hi. I was waiting for you. I was trying to work out if I could fall asleep. Are you tired? No, it's just, I can always, I was wondering if, if I could just get that relaxed whilst, by going as I couldn't, because I'd keep waiting for you to speak into my ears. Right.
How's the room? I'm sort of on edge at the moment. Have you had a back and forth with James?
Yeah.
Really?
Sounds good. He emailed us saying, Joe, fantastic news. Oh, brilliant. Yeah. Well, he said it's much better.
Yeah, wasn't that the egg chair one? He said it's better.
No, no, no, this is also this. Because I sent you a picture of what I've had to do.
Yeah, someone put on Patreon, just put pictures on the wall and sort of... Yeah. Rather than dresses on those.
LAUGHTER More towels. So bleak. Pet just walks in there and just gone, Already? Fucked it up. Yeah. Loads of peer pressure as well, I feel.

Chapter 2: How does David describe the atmosphere of Mevagissey in the morning?
Or you're just throwing details hither and thither.
Hither and thither. Mavagissi. So I'm looking at the boats. Gorge, absolutely beautiful. All the shops are shut. They're going to open in 45 minutes. Chill out. The day will start later. But right now, Mavagissi hasn't given up.
Mavagissi's got its cause. Right now, Mavagissi hasn't quite broken up. From my worthy audience here.
I walk across the stone.
For a second time or the first time?
And I walk about 200 metres towards the sea along the stone. You know the bit that comes out in the harbour that's like the barrier for the, I don't know what you call it, but tiny little mini lighthouse. I'll head there. I'm heading down there, if you please. So walk down the end. Oh, there's a coffee. There's a coffee truck. What? There's a tiny little coffee with a painted octopus on it.
right down the end where the boats go in from the sea.
Sorry. I don't think I've ever, I can't imagine ever, oh, shit. Can I, I need to take a call.
Oh, okay. Yeah, Mavagissi. If you've never been, wonderful place, wonderful place, fishing village, untouched, untouched, relatively untouched. On the south coast of Cornwall. Yes, it's sort of standing by the harbour. It's lovely. Saw a choir there. Lots of old guys in their 70s and 80s. Singing like a choral version of ELO's Mr Bright. Mr Bright Sky. Mr Bright Sky. It's really nice.

Chapter 3: What reflections does David have about retirement after meeting local retirees?
No.
I'll be. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
If I'd been, I'd be going, oh, I know that harbour. It's very colourful, isn't it?
It's beautiful. It's absolutely freaking beautiful.
I'm looking at the sort of above picture so which wall were you on? The one on the right?
The wall nearest the bottom of the image at the corner.
So the one that's on the right hand side of the village if you're looking at the sea?
Or if you're looking at the image on the left-hand side.
Yeah, okay. I was going to say, I jumped in.

Chapter 4: How does David envision his own retirement activities?
No, I'm just. Honestly, I really felt like he was just going to go home.
Well, have a cup of tea. I don't know. Stare at the wall.
No. Read a book. He looked like he was full of joy. Yeah, probably pottery now. Going to town. Got to do that. Got to do this. Yeah, quite. Lots of walking, maybe? Yeah, I do walking, definitely. Lots of walking.
How far would you, sorry, change something a bit. When you did your long walk with your eldest, how far were you walking a day? I don't know, actually, 11 or 12. Long walks?
Yeah.
Thank you. Go back to Mavicus.
Yeah, I don't think I could do it.
You'd have to, I think I'd have to go, I paint now. All that wandering around, do you know what it is? I've worked it out. You do all that lovely Frenchman stuff. When that dies down, you go, I can't paint now. You need that full net. Okay, or go and do the cardinal.
Well, that's for me, it's like flicking the pod on. We can all do that. What? Well, I was thinking, well, I'll go home and write. I'll write something, I'll get an idea. No. Retire.

Chapter 5: What role does community play in retirement according to David?
Greengrocer's. Greengrocer's. A grocer's. What's the difference? Grocer's is not... This shop sold ham, sweets, toilet roll, and a deli.
Are you going to list everything? Tins of tomatoes. Cigarellas. Tins of pineapples. Lights as matches.
You could get a cheese roll there if you wanted.
Stickers.
Stickers. Football stickers. Black jackets. Too many cheeses. Little everything shop.
So you know what it's like, so you still want to work in a shop? If it was with Nomi, yeah. Okay. Oh yeah, because I remember you'd be the visionary. You'd do the graft, if I remember rightly. Would Naomi want to work at a shop with you? Or would she prefer to do it on her own or with a friend? Truthfully, think about it.
Really think about it. I could ask her. Yeah. Okay, she'd be honest. Would you want to work?
Say, ask her. Can I word it, though?
Yeah. If you were running a shop. Go on, say that again. If?

Chapter 6: What insights do David and Joe share about working in a shop after retirement?
Like the illustrations for all his books. She's got a little shop in Falmouth. Busying away in there, just doing her thing.
I'd love to get her on the go. Is it idyllic?
She's not pretty happy. I don't know where I'm standing.
We're layering a lot of stuff on people with shops. If you've got an idyllic looking shop, I wonder if you're going... Yeah, exactly. Is it boring? Does it nut you? Do you wake up and go, fucking Tuesday's always quiet?
Yeah.
Or fucking have some weekends with a load of tourists who just come in and look at stuff and never buy anything? Do you know what I mean, though? Yeah, I do, yeah. Is it boring? I'd just say I'd rather do an allotment. 30 quid a year. Yeah, you keep saying that. It's good, though, isn't it? 30 quid or whatever.
Well, I just... Honestly, I really hope you get into gardening and you just rub this fucking thing in my face come January. How's the allotment going? Why does it have to be by January? No, that's when the true gardener comes out of it. Oh, look at that big fucking... I know. I've been working on that man for six months, boy.
I appreciate that because I've sort of been in allotments in winter.
While doing the pod for Only Fools and Horses?
