Yeah, right, it all started when we were at school. We wanted to, like, start a band. I got this second-hand guitar for my sixteenth birthday, and my friend was really good at singing. That's how it started really, you know what I mean? We found a drummer and started doing gigs. And suddenly the band got really big - we started having hit records and making loads of money. So I dropped out of school and really concentrated on the music. I've got fifteen guitars now, but my favourite is still the one I got for my sixteenth birthday, you know what I mean?

I work in the maternity department of a large hospital and I've delivered 649 babies so far. It's a great job because it brings happiness to people's lives. When I hand the new baby to the parents,

I know that it's one of the happiest moments of their lives. On the other hand, it's a very stressful job. I usually work nights and I work long hours, so I haven't had time to have a baby of my own yet!

I couldn't live in a city - I love the outdoor life. It's a hard life, but I've never missed a single day's work through illness and I'm sixty-nine years old. With the new tractor, I have a bit more time on my hands, but I still get up at five o'clock every morning and feed the animals before breakfast. My eldest son gives me a hand at weekends, but I still do most of the work myself - you know you're living when you're outdoors.
