I am  77  - the word retirement makes me feel tired. How many times does one have to be tired before they can retire? Maybe I will be able to answer this when I turn 80! 

My dream of having a small bookshop 'as a hobby' at the age of 70 has morphed into three bookshops, last season a rather large marquee was added.  I now have an apprentice, and a friend to help out as the Wee Bookshops are now a destination for many visitors.   

Books, my life long companion, teacher, friend and often my road back to sanity.
