Just a new adventure beckoning, but the last while can be very strange as you are experiencing. I got quite possessive about anyone else teaching 'my' courses:)swefflinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966574718104896830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-47101796201794187382015-04-30T10:29:10.482+01:002015-04-30T10:29:10.482+01:00Time to put away any thoughts of 'wrong'. ...Time to put away any thoughts of 'wrong'.

It'll take time to adjust, I was unsettled for about three months after retirement. Now, I think it's the best thing ever and I don't even want to go back to say hello!

Gorgeous.<br />Yes, it must have felt strange not having to attend all of the staff meeting, I wonder how many staff meetings you have attended during your teaching career :o) It is bound to feel strange at first....

You're bound to have withdrawal symptoms but you will still be involved in school life and that is really nice. :o) <br />Have a lovely day - weekend again soon. :o) S.xxxSonjanoreply@blogger.com
