Dawn of a new age

This dawn shot is very apt for me because today I have reached a milestone birthday. Suffice it to say that I am now entitled to a rail pass! The most exciting aspect is that now I am semi-retired and will only be working 2 days a week. After working full time since I was 21 (with only a short gap when my two sons were very small) I feel I've earned my parole and a bit of time off. The sense of freedom from the confines of the workplace is utterly exhilarating and I can't wait to get out there and do all those things that I never had time for before.
