In the summer of 2010, film director Nick Hillel made part of a documentary called 'Heath life' which was to show the four seasons of the year in the life of Hampstead Heath in North London. The video you see here is the summer section, which is called 'Leos Pond', a nine minute film about the character that work in and frequent Highgate Ponds within Hampstead Heath, though centering mainly around Leo Curran, a 93 year old man who travel up to six hours a day just to enjoy his 'Paradise' as he describes it.
To me this is truly inspirational, and should be an inspiration to all, to see this man of a certain vintage, supremely fit, alot fitter than some healthy people 1/3 his age. He really shows in this film that it is not how old you are, but how old you feel on the inside, because that will shine on the outside, in personal health and attitude towards others and life itself.
Please take a look.
