Morning.

Well, as of today I can officially call myself a pensioner, although at 47 yrs old it feels a bit silly.... I’ll be 48 next month...
I repaired accident damaged cars until my late 20s before joining the police, I’ve completed 19 yrs service, 8 yrs as a PC and 11 as a sergeant but a number of shoulder ops In the last few years with some complications to my nervous system have meant that I’ve retired under ill health.
I’ve had a fantastic career although the last few years have been very difficult and I’ve very mixed emotions as I feel like I’ve cheated somehow but it’s for the best.

I’ve had a nice distraction this week as my new bike, a retirement present has arrived at the LBS 6 weeks early and I hope to collect it today! Photos to follow...

last thing, am I the youngest here??

Cheers Stuart.

Good morning everyone. Happy Yorkshire Day @classic33 . 'Tis cool but pleasant which I'm rather pleased about. Woke at 6.15 but managed to persuade my body it needed more sleep. I too had an odd dream, I was living in a world inhabited only by those who had survived a global pandemic - not surprising really. It wasn't uplifting.

I shall now catch up with the ramblings in here.

I thought I did well going at nearly 53! Should have been 55 but couldn't hack the last few years and went early and lost out on a huge amount of pension, but health comes first as you have also found out. I wish you a long, happy and healthy retirement.
