Thank you all so much for your kind comments.

I had planned to retire early next year and had begun preparations for it, but my recent episode of TGA has thrown all my plans out of kilter. I was diagnosed with a mild cognitive impairment some years ago, but it made little difference to my daily life. Since the TGA episode it’s an everyday occurrence to struggle to develop my thinking processes and emotions are all over the place! I believe it’s only temporary and that I will make a better recovery in time, but it made sense, as the new team is working very well in my absence, to step down sooner rather than later.

I won’t be idle, but I will be able to pace myself now, and once I’m better there are a lot of interests I’ll have time to explore so I’m quite excited. ?

I have always admired the work that you did GrannyActivist. It must have taken such a lot out of you and you deserve and need a restful retirement. You have left a good foundation behind you.
