From New Zealand comes pictures of Tony Scott,a retired merchant seaman and man of many parts.Does work here and there in the film industry in NZ.
He is pictured first in full regalia (and full throttle) as Town Crier, a historic vocation that was of immense value to citizens here in England as well, in pre-newspaper days.
Come Christmas and Tony gets out and about reading stories to the children in their schools and local libraries. Other pictures feature his readings to the littluns. Something that comes across as giving him as much pleasure as it does them.
Readings include Enid Blyton-a favourite author of his since his childhood.
And then of course there are his very popular appearances as Father Christmas.
