Retired at last

 Well yesterday was the end of an era. I've finally retired from invigilating.  It was a little sad to know that I was using my pass for the final time but I actually feel retired at long last. I was given a lovely card which I'll keep for a little while.  I'm trying not to keep cards anymore and recently got rid of pretty much all my old ones. It's hard letting go of sentimental things but I asked Tony to throw them in the recycle bin for me. We're thinking of booking a little break in Dorset or Norfolk when the kids go back after half term. My garden won't need any attention at this time of year and I feel comfortable leaving it.
