Barbara Gorton

As soon as I heard about the opportunity to make a nomination, I thought about Barbara. What is it about Barbara that makes her special? ? All who know her agree - 'everyone needs a Barbara' ? Always does what she says she will do - never lets people down ? Gardening - helps countless folk keep control of their gardens - selfless with her time for those less fortunate than herself ? Dog sitting and dog walking for anyone who needs a hand ? Barbara is the first person people choose to go to for advice and a sympathetic ear ? Always cheerful and uncomplaining ? At the age of 68 sets an example to us all in terms of fitness - recently completed the Blaydon Race [10k road race] in 57mins 20 seconds ?
