I retrired three years ago.Missed my students very much..also the buzz of an educational establishment.........
I still would like the challenge of an essay and research and may look for such an outlet.I feel happy and content..but there was a time of a feeling of loss for my career.

Mountain Ash, I have a good friend (68 yrs) who retired a few years ago --before 65. She became heavily involved for last 5 years in Learning Annex/elder learning network where members volunteer to prepare and teach/lecture on various topics. This would mean speaking to groups for more than an hr. She loved it and was treasurer /secretary for the group.

You might be great as a walking tour guide ..with your penchant for research, details, etc. A friend of mine ran her own local cycling and walking tours. She hired 2 retired teachers..they were excellent guides. I was asked..but no way I was going to work on weekends when I had a different full time job already!!
