鈥楳y life has been bound by rules which I make sure we follow, or try to鈥�

Jackie Weaver reads out loud a poem which inspires her to 鈥榢ick off those shoes鈥� from time to time.

鈥淚 am very much a conformist, and I too look forward to that time where, to use the authors words, I may yet wear purple,鈥� 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, 鈥榃arning鈥� explores what can be in store as people grow older and throw away restraints.

This was part of 大象传媒 Radio 5 Live鈥檚 Read Out Loud challenge.
