Many thanks for your interesting and pleasant comments above, and I must say I am looking forward to a life of freedom, to get out and do lots of walking and travelling about. Last year was a real eye opener for me, which I find very difficult to put into words. Jobs at home sometimes needed doing, but were usually put on the back burner as it was work that night or in the early hours. What days off I had were usually either worked, or sat about reading and dozing, no possibility whatsoever of walking miles round Dover or anywhere`s else for for that matter. Free travel on the railway very rarely used and just wasted. Loved the job I`ve always done, lots of great people I`ve met over the years, most happy and cheerful, some miserable, moany etc. Yes, it`s been great, but now I`ve found another life, two in fact, the freedom to get out and about with no commitments, and somewhere`s to talk about it all, the forum. Long may it continue, and thank you each and everyone.
