Meet Joe

Isle of Sark

At 93, Joe proudly introduces himself as the oldest resident on Sark, a title he's held since November when the previous holder departed. If you have ever tasted Sark butter, you will know why 93 is the oldest! He has an eye for the ladies and boasts to them that despite being 93, he still has a big ambition, to reach 94...

Thanks Traveller and Bob. He was very spritely as he stolled past our table while we were having lunch in a garden restaurant, with his medals twinkling in the sun. I smiled and raised the camera in his direction and he instantly posed EXACTLY like a politician. Then he came over, introduced himself and entertained us with his stories for the next ten minutes. A charming and genuinely interesting fellow. Regards -Najinsky

What a jovial character and a very nice capture Naj.

Don't know about the butter but there must be something in the water on that island?

As Trav' commented.... 'something to aspire to'... 93 and cheerful?

This is really great, Naj....I'll vote for Joe and he does look like a politician...lol.

You know, I'm bitching a bit about my age lately, but....if I can be like Joe, that would be pretty cool. A goal to to aspire towards...

I like this a lot.

Thanks,

Traveller
