After 52 years of working my body has given me instructions to stop.

Tomorrow is hopefully the last day of my employment anywhere!

I am looking forward to enjoying more time with family, friends, layout and garden.

Wish me luck as I set out on a new adventure!

Regards, Peter.

The very best of luck. Really enjoy your retirement and have fun.
I have exactly one year and 3 weeks to go before I can retire at 60 and to be honest, I cannot wait.
You'll now have plenty of time to enjoy your life - especially the model railway.
Enjoy yourself to the full and I wish you prolonged good health.
I'm sure I'll get used to cream first soon.

I hope you have a long and happy retirement Peter

Having hobbies helps greatly when you suddenly find you have every day to yourself  :claphappy:

cheers John.

Lucky you to retire at 60, I'm rapidly approaching 67 and if it were not for bad feet, knees andd hips I would have continued working!

Thanks for your comment and all the best when you have the opportunity to do the same!

Have fun with your retirement Peter, best wishes. Apart from a few days here and there, working from home, I'm nearly retired, but I'm a youngster, I've only done 43 years
The years have been good to me, it was the weekends that did the damage.

All the best for your retirement Peter.
Now you can do all those chores and all that decorating that SWMBO has been asking you to do for years  :laugh:
You will soon wonder how you ever found time to go to work
( Its a great life though )

Happy retirement peter, I was 65 in August but was fortunate to finish 3 months early at the end of may. If we had not had such a good summer ( not complaning )I might have done more on my railway in the loft but I am catching up now. Enjoy yourself I am, swmbo said I would be bored, I am not !, I have worked since I was 16 thats long enough.

Enjoy your retirement Peter.

After a while you will wonder how you found time to go to work, I know I do.

Hope you have a long and enjoyable retirement Peter.

I was lucky enough to be able to take early retirement 3 years ago, and must admit the old adage regarding not knowing how you found the time to go to work really does ring true. Having hobbies that hold your interest certainly helps, especially during the winter months when you can't spend so much time outside.

Best wishes,

Gerry

Congratulations on your retirement, Peter :beers:
Now life can really begin :)
I retired in June this year aged 60 and it was definitely time after 43 years of working, so well done on clocking up 52 years :thumbsup:

Sit back, relax, enjoy. That's what they tell us to do - so do it.

I'm looking forward to the enjoy part myself when the time comes (another 6 years yet) !  :tv:

I have worked for 43 Years now, and will retire as soon as I "possibly can"

How on earth they expect men well into their mid 60s to carry on in physical jobs beats me?  I remember in the 1970s being told we would all start retiring progressively earlier, and that energy bills would become lower and lower, to a point they would become insignificant!

What can possibly be nicer than a day without having to go to work, and sitting down to do some relaxing modelling?

Enjoy yourselves!!!
