Congratulations on your retirement! I never had a career, just a succession of unexpected happenings along the way, but it means there's a few weird stories to recount. I very much look forward to reading some of yours!

This is a joy to read, Jenny, and the video is amazing! And so, obviously, it's our Facebook and X Pick of the Day!
