Transcript

All these visitors mean we have had to expand our operation and it’s now a truly family concern. I’m near to retirement age so (14) I only concern myself with looking after the mechanical side of things – keeping the trains going.

(15) Liz now devotes all her energies to recruiting and supporting the large squadron of workers, which keep the place running smoothly. We’re really pleased that after some years away teaching, (16) Sarah has now returned to the park and makes sure the visitors are kept fed and watered, which keeps her pretty busy as you can imagine. Our son, (17) Duncan, has been a stalwart of the park for the last ten years, taking over from me in the area of construction – and I’ll say a little bit more about that in a moment – and his new wife, (18) Judith, has also joined the team in charge of retail . That’s becoming a tremendous growth area for us – a lot of people want to buy souvenirs.
