Enjoy your time and if you do move away, please keep in touch. I am hoping to get back to the UK next summer and would love a chance to game with you again.J Womack, Esq.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14400879353685357966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-49096070630249112442018-10-05T16:33:08.669+01:002018-10-05T16:33:08.669+01:00@ Carole - in my case, no redundancy payment and i...@ Carole - in my case, no redundancy payment and it will be a good few years before I can take my pension. The plus side is that I don't have to work (for a good while at least) and no commuting during rush hour :)<br />I'm happy to hear that it's worked out well for you :)<br /><br />@ Simon J - I'm not absolutely sure what I'll do if I do go back to work. Maybe some H&S consultancy, although I'd probably need to obtain some more qualifications for that. Getting out of London will probably be the best move for me :)<br /><br />@ Norm - I've started reading it and the bits which aren't additions/amendments by the Party censors are quite interesting so far. The Party bits are - unintentionally, I'm sure - quite funny :)<br /><br />@ Alastair - indeed. To freedom and beyond! :)<br /><br />@ Francis - cheers big fella! :)<br /><br />@ Curt and Sarah - thank you both! One of the areas I'm thinking of moving to is Newark, so if I do end up there and you are over around the time of one of the shows, you will have a standing offer of accommodation :)<br /><br />@ Jerry - sadly, bucolic areas with reputable pubs aren't any cheaper than my part of London so that isn't really on the cards :(<br />However, relaxation and painting minis is very much on the cards :)<br /><br />@ Herkybird - thanks! With all this free time, there should be lots of lovely painted figures for you to enjoy :)<br /><br />@ Ross - cheers! And the first person to comment on the BBQs - glad you like them! :)<br /><br />@ Blax - thanks Simon! I'm a bit too young to be calling it "retirement" for now; "extended career break" seems better :)<br />I'll probably start work on the Stronty stuff in the next few weeks, probably starting with some terrain :)<br /><br />@ Ray - cheers! :)<br /><br />@ Paul - thanks! I'll certainly be setting myself a stretching target for AHPC9 :)<br /><br />@ Peter - cheers! :)<br /><br />@ Stew - and the second comment on the BBQs! They are a bit of whimsy, but there's nowt wrong with that :)TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-15363825602833833982018-10-05T00:07:58.508+01:002018-10-05T00:07:58.508+01:00Those BBQs are fun little models.

I do not miss it at all. You have made the correct decision. We moved from south of Heathrow to Newbury just over four years ago and have not looked back.

My life is now free from the horrible stress my job caused me.
