Chapter 11 - The Future

The older you get the less you like to look into the future as there is less and less of it. I now think it pointless to make grand five and 10 year plans as you are simply wishing your life away.

As I write this I am as busy as ever. I have just decided to retire as a governor of Hethersett Middle School as I have largely lost interest in the huge amount of paperwork that comes from both county and government level. I still love the school but the burden of being chair of governors has become just too much. It is a totally voluntary and unpaid job and I have reached the point where I need a rest from all the meetings etc involved in the process of running a school. I will always remember my 17 year association with the school with fondness.

I am as involved with Hethersett Athletic as ever. We now run 17 teams at all levels and are one of the most successful sides in Norfolk and seem to be expanding all the time. The future holds many exciting times for the football club.

My main aim of the next few years is to continue my writing and to put as much of it as possible on the internet. The web is a wonderful source of information and knowledge and gives a marvellous outlet for all the writing I have done over the years. I occasionally give talks to local groups where I cover a variety of subjects. I entitle it "It's a Wonderful Life" after my favourite film.

There have been times in the past when I have got depressed, found myself angry and I often get irritable. But for all my shortcomings it has been a wonderful life and hope that it will continue to be for many years to come.
