Stunned and amazed

I was stunned and amazed by the send off I received upon my retirement.

I was asked if I'd like to go out for a meal and almost 20 people turned up.

I was given so many gifts, one of which was large plant this has been re-gifted to DD and now stands in her garden.

I was also given gifts from the kitchen staff and the cleaners, people I didn't do copying for.

Many, many, many congratulations on your retirement - what a lovely party you must've had, and lots of lovely presents. You will now have to find somewhere to put them on the boaty!

Thank you, I still feel as though I should be working but I am relieved not to be.
I was surprised by the send off I got, I assumed I'd just bugger of on my last day and that would be that.

Recognition for all your hard work at last. I'm sure you will be greatly missed. Enjoy your new found freedom.

You see? Even though you were taken for granted by some people, others realised that you were a kind, considerate and thoroughly nice person to have around.
I'm glad that you were able to enjoy their company and know that you were well-thought-of on your retirement celebration.
Enjoy retirement - it's FAB!!!!
