You can't escape us completely Pete as we will just have to chase you down with a run sometime next year.

A Sunday run to the coast seems like a good idea to me :thumbsu:

Hope the move goes well and don't be a stranger on here.

Good luck and enjoy your retirement.

I'm assuming they have Internet in North Norfolk so you can stay in touch. :lol:

I'm sure we'll see you at an event or two in the not too distant future. :thumbsu:

No, it is not retirement, it is the start of the hardest work that you have ever done.
Go back to work and relax.
Enjoy it.

Have a good one Pete :thumbsu:

Think Geoff is right, everyone I know that has retired recently, tell me they do not have enough time in a day now to do all the things they want to. But on the other hand, they all look very well on it and they love to remind those of us that have not made retirement yet, of how good they are having it :lol:

A few more years until retirement for me but the boss has been warned I will not be staying till the bitter end, so if all goes to plan, I will be getting out early to enjoy this thing called retirement :thumbsu:
