When i was leaving school my parents wanted me to join the police force. My friends at the time,of the same age, talked me out of it,but by the time i was in my mid fifties they were all retiring from the raf or fire brigade or Fords or the daily mirror and on pensions i can now only dream about. They fill their days playing golf,going to the gym,walking their dogs in the rain and have 2 or 3 foreign holidays a year.

Most have come back to live here again in retirement,and i sometimes see them as ime setting off in the drizzle to another conifer hedge reduction and think "oh well never regret what you've done,regret what you havn't done" .
