For a lad who had only got a few shillings in his pocket 3 months ago you have done a cracking job.

Today is a Special day and this picture sums up my mood:001_smile: The highlight of my Career was being interviewed by Tony Kirkham for the position of Head Arborist at Kew Gardens...i then hit the top of a Massive Cedar with my throwbag (my son gave me as a present) second shot and completed my test climb without a hiccup. That was a great day....To recieve a letter a week later informing me that although unsuccesful,they were impressed and said that i was the reserve candidate was no consolation(At the time). A few weeks later a friend told me,"Not to worry,something better will come along". At the time i thought how could there possibly be something better? I am now beginning to understand what they meant by what is unfolding. In a few hours i have an interview for a full time position within an Arboricultural Team maintaining Trees in Parks and open spaces only a few miles cycle away...The best bit is..i have been told that this is basically just to meet me,they are prepared to offer me the job based on what they have heared about me from an Arboricultural aquaintance i knew a few years ago! Moral of this tale? NEVER GIVE UP!... IF YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF.....GO FOR IT!!!

Box fresh they look and feel awsome..maximum comfort and visibility:thumbup:
