For 70 years, Sally Summers has worked on the shop floor at Saunders Shoes in Greytown – apart from one two-week attempt at retirement.

Sally and her boss Tracie Donald talk to Jesse Mulligan.

It's the customers that keep Sally from getting bored in the shop, she tells Jesse Mulligan.

"You always have something different - something to laugh about, something to moan about too sometimes, but not very often."

If you've got your health, you've got your wealth, Sally says.

"I've got a good husband who does a lot of things around the place so I'm lucky. He's not sitting at the table waiting for his dinner or anything like that."
