I heard someone joke that on retirement he intended to sit in a rocking chair for six months. After that he might begin to rock a little! The thought of doing nothing in retirement never appealed to me and after twelve and a half years I am still finding new and exciting opportunities On a voluntary basis I have given religious instruction in a state school to about 700 children over the years - the last thing I would have anticipated doing. Soon after retiring I was approached by a publisher who wanted me to write a book and now I am working on a ninth. Again, that was something I didn't anticipate. Being a person of faith, I would say that God has been good. If we are open to him and his leading we find lots of happy surprises in store. Whatever next?
