My Working Life – Michael Olsen
My working life has lead me down numerous paths. In the early years I retailed medicines through my Pharmacy business. Later I created the 1st UK pet superstore in 1990. More recently I have operated a coffee shop. I’ve almost always enjoyed how I’ve earned my living. For instance, I have spent the greater part of my 74 years making things simply for pleasure or practical purposes. More recently I’ve been able to allow my artistic impulses to develop. With the result that what was an interesting and engrossing hobby has now become a full time and gratifying venture.
I enjoy the simple, beautiful things that life has to offer – family, love, the outdoors (cycling through it), music (better heard through a needle) and time spent happily with others as well as alone. All of which inspire me to try to create things to enhance the enjoyment of life, all illustrated in my Blog
