And so to retirement

 I retired in April this year and this time last year I resigned from my teaching role.

No regrets I am now playing golf three times a week and filling my life with  many things I had no time for when I was working.

My golf has improved and I treated myself to a Sim 2 driver and some Calloway Irons, never bought new before and what a difference they have made. My handicap is also improving very quickly thanks to playing consistently. Breaking 90 is a common occurance so next target is 80 which I will be aiming for in the spring.

I have much more time for my family and friends and pub lunches are a common occurance. I cancelled my gym membership when covid came along and bought a spin bike so I can afford the odd beer without it appearing on my waistline.

As expected my colleagues manage fine without me, believe me there is more to life than work. I thoroughly enjoyed my job but not as much as I'm enjoying retirement and the freedom it gives. 

I have to go, the suns out and I'm off to the first Tee.
