My grandfather is 96 years old, and he a long and interesting life. He a lot, especially in the Far East. He the Taj Mahal in India, and the Pyramids in Egypt. He lions in Africa, and a camel across the Sahara Desert. He says that the most beautiful place he to is Kathmandu in Nepal. He the Queen on several occasions. In 1959 he was a soldier in New Zealand when she came to visit, and in 1972 he went to a garden party at Buckingham Palace.

He married twice. His first wife died when se was 32. He met his second wife while he was travelling round France by bike. He and his wife, Eleanor, married for 50 years, and they in the same cottage in the country since they got married. He says that he never ill in his life. The secret of good health, according to my grandfather, is exercise. He goes swimming every day. He this since he was a boy. He also has a glass of whisky every night! Perhaps that is his secret!
