It certainly makes window cleaning in Bath interesting as it offers a great variety of work. The city’s rich history affects our present. So when one day in 2014 a friend gave me the opportunity to start cleaning windows in Bath, after an initial hesitation I took the plunge, and I haven’t looked back since. When I came back to reality and the UK I did several temp jobs, none of which promised to lead anywhere promising. Listening to great bands in underground Manhattan bars, leaning against a broken-down 4×4 right next to lions in Uganda, taking in the fresh Icelandic air, and chilling with red wine in the Tuscan countryside are some of the many experiences I had. I started travelling, learning other languages and experiencing different cultures.

This allowed me to pursue things I’d once been passionate about but hadn’t been free to do so before. I felt life was too important and too fragile to waste time being uninterested or generally dissatisfied. When my aunt passed away suddenly one Monday evening in July 2012, I resigned from my job the next day. I really liked my colleagues, but I found I wasn’t enjoying the environment. After a couple of months, I completed my fitness assistant and aqua aerobics certificates, which opened up much more engaging work.

I’ve always loved sports and was planning to go down either the strength and conditioning route or the personal training one. While initially I had to work in reception and sales in the leisure centre, the promise of further training was there. It wasn’t, however, a role I’d ever before imagined myself in, so when an opportunity arose to work in a gym environment I took it with enthusiasm. It allowed me to be creative, mix with different people and learn a lot of skills. Along with the usual book-related tasks, I was heavily involved in IT training for ‘Silver Surfers’, storytime sessions and craft projects across many South Gloucestershire libraries. I’d initially enjoyed working in a library. We forget to stop, look out and enjoy the view. In this day and age, with all the distractions, challenges and negatives that can surround us, we can spend too much time worrying about how people view us and where we are heading.
