Joshua Plumtree

Approaching perfection from a distance.
Taking a free kick in the school playground circa 1969, hitting the Headmaster on the back of the head and knocking his glasses clean off the end of his nose!

No biggie really, but I just bimbled through life, had average paid jobs albeit with a lot of responsibility, then redundancy at 44 offered me a chance of a career change, onto the tools in a packing factory.
Within two years, I'd jumped hugely iin wages, learned more than I could ever have thought, was intensely interested, and within 4 years was travelling to Cyprus, Uruguay, Egypt, Spain etc with my new found skills.
I still pinch myself sometimes and although my travelling days are over ( mind they brought their own problems so no mind)..I love what I do. No day is the same, you neverknow what the next breakdown is going to be.
I remember in my first month there...going home and saying to the wife 'I dont think I can do it...there's SO much to learn, its relentless'
12 years ago, I couldnt concieve I could ever have done that.
