Robbie

The distances I have to travel for my art! 
Across the road there was a clanking and banging, then I realised it was an echo from my new knees. Robbie and his mate Graham are installing a new path for neighbours. Robbie and I have known each other for 21 years now, he was the digger driver for the company that built our houses. Cornish to his toes. he's a wealth of local knowledge; a hard, skilled worker. 

From Fifty Sheds of Grey:
Long shiny boots
Fishnets
A hoarse Scandinavian accent.
I'd never been on a fishing boat before.
