I'd be embarrassed to tell you what management gave me on my retirement a year ago, after nearly 43 years with the organisation! Even that was an afterthought! It would appear that you were well appreciated Patricia, which must give you a nice warm feeling. Enjoy your new life of leisure, although you'll probably find yourself working harder!

Congratulations, Trixie.I took early retirement a few years ago and it's been fantastic. So much more time for photography that it becomes difficult to fit in the DIY jobs my wife finds for me ...........

But David, the good news is, Trix is retiring from commercial cake making. She's still going to be producing her culinary masterpieces in her own kitchen...
Congratulations, Trix, and all the best for the future.
Best wishes,
Andrew
