I met a couple in my neighbourhood in the countryside of Japan. In their 70s.
As I was walking by they were working in a large garden. We had a chat and they said they moved from the city four years ago to start farming. In their 70s.
The husband said each day is hard and I asked what he had did before - he said he worked in semiconductors. The guy retired from what was likely a lucrative career and he and his wife decided to take up farming. In their 70s.
I can't stop thinking about it. No one decides to take up farming when they retire. Most people probably just watch some TV, read a few books and travel. These two decided to try their hand at farming & they seemed happy to be out working the land. In their 70s.
Incredible.
