There was one day this year when I laughed all the way through the job I was on and couldn t keep the smile off my face for nearly a week afterwards.
It wasn’t even on my own patch. It was my weekend on duty covering the midlands, west and north west. I was thrown a long-shot - was there any way I could track down a pair of newly-weds in their 80s in Offaly and see if would they do an interview? Sure I’ll give it a try , I said, not knowing this would become the highlight of my working year.
