Hello! I am a retired school teacher. I have stopped employment completely.
That's great. What was it like to be a teacher?
It was very stressful. That's why I didn't chose to semi-retire - which is working a reduced number of hours rather than stopping work completely.
How does it feel to be retired?
It feels wonderful! I get a pension, which is my right as a worker thanks to the battles my union fore bearers fought for us
You are very fortunate to have that union.  How do you spend your free time?
I like to knit and watch British crime television dramas. My sister is also a teacher, but she's in pre-tirement; she's putting off retiring because she wants to save some money
