Don't believe the myth that people in their fifties are unemployable - it is harder to get a full time permanent job, but then again not many who have kicked teaching into touch would want that -the portfolio approach "a leetle beet of thees and a leetle beet of that" (to quote Clouseau) can top up nicely where you've been robbed of part of your pension.

Or of course, just put your feet up if you can afford it!
