Will Bill Bryson Really Retire From Writing?

I recently reread Notes From a Small Island by Bill Bryson, an American who visited England as a young man and fell in love with the country and a psychiatric nurse whom he met at the sanitarium where they both worked. Notes from a Small Island documented Bryson's farewell trip around England before he and his family moved to Hanover, New Hampshire for a few years to give their children an idea of what living in the US was like. Once I finished this very humorous book, I decided to read The Road to Little Dribbling, written on the 20th anniversary of the publication of Notes from a Small Island, which finds Bryson living back in the UK and documenting the changes in the country since that first book was written. The Road to Little Dribbling was also very funny, and immensely entertaining. And so I was sad to read that in October of 2020, during the heart of the pandemic, Bryson decided he liked staying at home and playing with his grandchildren, and said he had retired from writing. However, I recently read that he has written a new book titled the Secret History of Christmas, which will be published as an audiobook which he will narrate. I think this is a sign that he can't really bring himself to retire. He has stated that he and his wife would like to travel to Russia (this was prior to the Ukranian invasion) and India. If they do that, I am sure there is no way Bryson can hold back writing about his misadventures in those two countries. At least that is what I am hoping.
