Fred

It was clear that Fred had worked with his hands for most of his life. He had one of those solid handshakes that world 'leaders' would give anything for.

Fred retired from the family business a few years ago, his sons now look after things.

I first met Fred at the office. Despite handing over the reigns to his sons he goes to the workshops everyday. My task was to drive him the couple of miles to his house, get him fed and then settled for the evening.

Once food is prepared and he's tucking in, I'll sit with him at his favourite table and scribble.
