Last day at work 31 August 2015.  Retirement begins.  I loathe that word “retirement”.  It sounds as if you are about to remove yourself from the world and moulder in a corner.  I am not doing that.  I intend to spread my wings and explore other opportunities.  “Phase three” or “freelancing”.

So, where will my literal and personal peregrinations take me?  To polar areas certainly, but also into new territories, metaphorically, which I have not had time to explore and investigate.

Personal Destinations from September 2015:

Walk the West Highland Way

The international conference circuit

Become an apiculturalist

Travel to the seventh continent and swim in the Antarctic Ocean

Travel and explore!
