Richard Seabrook ,
Freelance Farmworker
Richard Seabrook is an old-fashioned sort of man who has found a new way of working, keeping a flock of sheep of his own and hiring himself out by the day, or the week, or the job. The gang he gets together each spring shears 20,000 sheep: moving from farm to farm across East Anglia working, joking and refreshing their thirst. ' One of my mottoes,' he says, ' is to live life right to the full, every day as if it were the last.' On the strength of that they got him into the pulpit to preach the Harvest Festival sermon.
