 Mary
"You see a lot of what goes on in the world, working in a pub and a shop like I do. All sorts of people seem to confide in you - it's like they see you as some kind of "wise woman". Well, I've seen enough ups and downs in my time to be able to offer advice I suppose, and I can be trusted to keep a secret, although I'm not afraid to speak my mind either. But I don't push people to talk - I know when a customer needs to be left alone.
"I've seen this area go through lots of changes - this new development by the canal is just one of many. Take the "Bicycle Works" apartments for example, I can remember when it really was a bicycle factory - I used to work there! That's where I met my first husband actually. Oh I'm sure some people would love to see me move away - they'd like to get their hands on the pub and turn it into an estate agents or a fancy restaurant or something like that. But I like this area. This is my patch. I've seen other people come and go, but I've hung on. That's why I was so worried about Brian messing things up with that Trucon business at the allotments. People have long memories!
"I never thought I'd marry again mind, and I surprised myself when I said yes to Bill but why not? I just hope that Bill can get over the accident somehow, he still blames himself for Fatima's death and it seems to be getting worse, not better..."
