WORKING AND LIVING IN THE VILLAGE MEANS I’M PART OF THE COMMUNITY.

This has been a great way to spend my working life. Being out in all weathers is something I take in my stride – and you get a lovely tan in the summer. Sometimes you start your day and think, oh no, it’s still raining. But once you’ve got your wet weather gear on and set off, it doesn’t matter. It keeps me fit too; I reckon I walk up to nine miles a day.

I’m not ready to retire just yet. Every year I say I’ll just do another Christmas. So will I stop this year? Ask me in December!
