The first day of the rest of my life!

And what weather I got for it. Surely it must get better soon.
Last day in work yesterday and what a lovely day it was. Everyone made me feel so valued - I will genuinely miss catching up with the ins and outs of people's lives.
I was opening the post for the last time yesterday morning in S.Ps and recounted my very first 'proper' job after I left school.
It was in Barclay's Bank Foreign Office in the City of London. The first thing I had to do each morning was to go to the mail room and help open the post. We had to slit each envelope round 3 sides, flatten it out, and put the contents into the middle of a huge table so that someone infinitely more senior could sort it.
My working life had definitely come full circle - but at least I could now sort the letters AND deliver them to the recipients :-D

Tuesday 24th May

Thank you to everyone who has emailed me in response to my invitation to share the blog. If you would like to become 'followers' just click on the link to the right. It would be great to receive your comments when I'm in deepest, warmest Mesoamerica.
Tomorrow is my last day working for Smyth Patterson .........

Two days into my 7th decade

Testing - testing.
My first retirement project. Doing quite well so far after at least one false start.
I don't seem to be in quite the same time zone as blogger.com. If anyone can help I'd be most grateful.
Hope, by now, you've got the email and seen my photos.
Please be patient with me - it is a virtue :)
