I can’t do it any more.

After nearly 40 years, I’ve doused the forge and hung up the hammer

I thought I could go on for ever but suddenly I don’t have the energy or the muscles and a life of pure retirement beckons.

It’s a hard thing to say, but ‘Goodbye’

If I owe anyone money, they must tell me… and if anyone owes me any, I’d be pleased to receive it
