He was 93 last week, and lives in an out of the way cottage near Potterton Hall, the residence of Mr and Mrs HS Childe, of Wakefield, with his married daughter, Mrs Farndale, and his son-in-law, who is the handyman to the popular new residents at the Hall. Although blind in one eye and not too keen sighted in the other, his other senses are wonderfully clear. He hears well, speaks well and still carries his six foot form well, but he has never seen the sea!
