Jackie Weaver reads out loud a poem which inspires her to β€˜kick off those shoes’ from time to time.

β€œI am very much a conformist, and I too look forward to that time where, to use the authors words, I may yet wear purple,” she said.

Jackie became an internet sensation when a Zoom meeting of the Handforth parish council meeting, which she was overseeing, went viral.

The poem, β€˜Warning’ explores what can be in store as people grow older and throw away restraints.

This was part of ³ΙΘΛΏμΚΦ Radio 5 Live’s Read Out Loud challenge.
