Couldn’t agree more, I was just thinking along a sentimental line…just to do a run for a few days.
I’m 70 this year and have just renewed my licence (for the last time 
) I have been doing holiday relief the odd week for an O/D. I know weeks in advance when he needs me and I look forward to the job, but by the middle of the week I’m usually fed up with getting out of bed early and I’m looking forward to not going out to work again!!! I recently told my pal I would only do odd days now as a full week is getting to be too much for me. I’m still pretty fit and if the weather is ok I cycle the ten miles round trip but, the combination of traffic and the physical side of the job has influenced my decision to give up my licence this year. Although as I’ve had the brief since 1970 it will be a difficult move to make when the time comes!!!
