The first time I was 31, had started a business which made a profit, but Dennis Healy was threatening to take it all away. We sold the big house, the Jag and Sunbeam Tiger and bought a boat.

After 2 years we went back to the business as the kids needed schooling.

Margaret Thatcher destroyed the business, so we did some serious work for little reward until I was 56.

We then managed to retire, did various boat and camper van things and now have a house and a smallish boat.

I am now 70 and hope to have many more years of doing what suits us.
