He's a gardener. A 103 year-old gardener, and of course we fellow gardeners can completely relate:
Widower Jim turns out in all weathers to tend a half-acre garden at his local New Inn pub in Stoke Abbott.
Jim, who still has a full driving licence, arrives on his Ferguson tractor carrying all his tools - including a chainsaw.
He refuses to charge more than £3 an hour and, when asked when he's going to retire he jokes: "When I get old."
Ah, to live that long to garden. I wonder what the growing trends will be in 2069? Maybe I don't want to know. lol.
