Let's not get hung up on holidays when we discuss our teachers

I have a cousin who is a retired GP. It was a second career for him and he took to it well. He ran a progressive and effective practice and notably raised awareness of depression amongst young people.

In his retirement, he continues to help his community, being involved with a Mountain Rescue Team, and last year, as a pensioner, completed all the Munros in just 88 days. His expedition to conquer these peaks was in memory of a friend, and so far has raised around £50,000 for ‘L’Arche communities for disabled young people.
