Outdoors is definitely better for Nigel!

August 19, 2022

Nigel read about our Virtual Rural Weeks on the Officers Association website and joined us for an early Virtual Rural Week during lockdown.

He retired as Commander Royal Navy after serving for nearly 38 years and recently got in touch to tell us that he now has a part time gardening job working locally for a small business.

This is what he said:

“While the job wasn’t something I was particularly looking for, the brilliant virtual Rural  Week that I did with you a few years ago, informed and inspired me. It confirmed my views that if I was going to take up any post/retirement work, the outdoor sector was where I wanted to be – so when the opportunity for this job came up, I leapt at it!

As the old saying goes, I wasn’t too sure about gardening, but I planted a few seeds and it grew on me…….!!”

We salute you Nigel and thanks for letting us know.
