Our lollipop man for the wee kids around here is a gem, he waves to every car and bus that passes him, he knows every child by their name and always has a smile and a kind word for them, same with the parents and grandparents, so of the older kids at the local Comp has set up a" Isn't Jim mint" page on FB and it has had a couple of thousand hits already, I bet he would wave at the planes if they could see him..
what a lovely man and such a gentleman too.

Yeah.....Ginger. He has put up with a rake of crap from me the last couple of years and not once judged me (nothing naughty mind) and he just gave me hugs. He knew I'd come out the other side....it wasn't that long ago that he said welcome back to me.
We have a local fella that retired years ago yet still goes out on his bicycle (the old fashioned variety) every day doing chores, shopping and collecting prescriptions for elderly people in the neighbourhood. He often goes out to the surrounding villages as well. He seems to know everybody and waves and smiles at us all. He must be about 80 himself now! He just doesn't age.
