Retired - more fun

The classic picture postcard shot of Salts Mill. I've shown this elevation several times before but it is the iconic Saltaire image. Always pleasing, whatever the weather, but especially so on a sunny summer's day: blue sky, white fluffy clouds, honeyed stone glowing in the sunshine and all framed with roses. Even though I am so familiar with it, it still astonishes me that Sir Titus Salt had such a magnificent edifice designed and built as a working mill. It could be a palace! I'm really pleased that much of the building has been 'retired' from the noisy mill work that it used to hold and now hosts much more fun leisure activities - shops, galleries and restaurants.

From work to fun; I'm hoping to do the same... I'm pleased to confirm that TODAY is my LAST DAY at my working mill office. Not nearly as picturesque a place to leave behind as Salts Mill  - and no, I didn't end up moving back to the building that flooded at Christmas. There were IT issues unresolved and the move has been put back a week so I didn't make it back before I retired. I will have to go in one day and collect all my belongings though, so that will be a bit weird. Anyway, fun - here I come!
