Why not get a share in a simple type and have some fun flying around local short strips and working on your flying skills (get a tail dragger for added fun
)
I bet there is plenty on you door step you haven't discovered yet, both great airfields and great people. At 180 hours I hadn't even seen everything and been everywhere in East Anglia, still haven't now at 400 hours, and probably still won't have visited everywhere in the area at 1000 hours.
It sounds like most of your flying has been straight and level from A to B, you don't need to get into aeros to have a lot of fun without going far or spending a fortune. No need to take risks either.
I hope you decided to keep flying and take your son up one day
