Get off my lawn - cause this 100-year-old's about to mow it

3News NZ

Arthur Wilson 100 years old. We hope he got a telegram from the Queen, but he already has something he cherishes - his job.

Mr Wilson mows lawns.

There may be older professional lawn mowers in the world, but we haven't heard of them.

So that no young whipper-snapper could come and take his job off him, Mr Wilson just signed a contract to keep mowing lawns for another five years.

Hey Grandad - You are Beautiful It was with silly grins on our faces and tears spilling, that we watched and listened to you and Don tell your story so briefly but with your typical charateristic humour! We're all so proud of you and its a privilege to know you. What a cowboy on the lawnmower!! Lots of love to you Grandad and to you too Don - you're only a couple of decades or so more youthful than your Uncle and still working your farmlet... thank you for taking such a loving interest in Grandad, your pretty wonderful too!
