Title: Adieu (for now)
Post by: Lillypad on June 29, 2005, 15:13:10
I'm an avid reader of these boards but, being shy  ::) and inexperienced, I very rarely post (the fact that I use my work's PC may also have something to do with it!!)

However, after 29 years with 14 spent as head of department, I am leaving tomorrow on voluntary redundancy because specialist knowledge is no longer required (according to senior management) >:(, so I will no longer have easy access to A4A. I'm going miss you all dreadfully but the good news from my point of view is that I'm going to update my home PC & buy a digital camera with part of my payoff.

In the meantime, I'm going to have lots of time to spend on my plot and what a lovely backlog of postings I'll have to catch up on when I connect up again.

Enjoy the summer & good luck with all your gardening.

Welcome to the ranks of the serioulsy leisured. I 'retired' over 12 years ago now becuase of ill health and whilst there is little money in it, I would not swap the situation for any job. Hopefuly you too will find pleasure and satisfaction in the next stage of your life.
Enjoy it!

Good luck Lilypad. Hope we see you back here before too long with lots of nice pictures from your plot. I am sure you will really enjoy your retirement and very soon you will wonder how you had time to go to work. Have a lovely summer on your plot.  :D busy_lizzie

:) I echo Eric's (Palustris) words, they are word perfect, you will not regret leaving "Der management" with their drivel and good riddance to em >:(

Don't take too long setting up and coming back, you will be like a pressure cooker with the lid off ;) ;D
