A long and busy life... Grandpa was active, and was still going into "the office" (AGThomas Bradford Ltd) a couple of days a week well into his 90's. He was annoyed in his late 80's at not being able to continue mixing concrete and building paths and digging the veg beds up at the farm, and used to joke that he went in to work 'for a rest'. It is a common question we 'youngsters' (at 50!) still make the mistake of asking - "How are you today?" Never one for moaning, the reply would invariably be "I'm still here!" He always kept us on our toes, and I used to tell people - "Oh, he still has all his marbles (and probably some of ours too!)" - Ruth Jennaway (grand-daughter)
