Try and go part time first! Ease yourself into retirement.

My husband did not know many people in this area and joined a bowling club. I can't get round Asda now without him stopping for a chat!
I've joined a knit n natter group.

Hope to be joining that group in the not too distant future.

One of my retired friends said she thought she would have no problem keeping busy because she sang in a choir, loved gardening and enjoyed meeting friends for a coffee and a walk. But when she retired she realised how easy it is to think you have a busy life when most of your weekdays are spent working and commuting. When she had all that exra time to fill she realised that a couple of choir practices a week, an odd walk and lunch in the park and a bit of weeding and pruning didn't go anywhere near filling her time.

It's advice I've taken on board and am just wondering what other advice posters would give?
