“The key to a long happy life is red wine and pasta,” said 81-year-old Tina Langford, who retired Wed August 4 after 16 years as a cleaner with Herefordshire Council. Tina has been a cleaner at the Council’s Bath Street offices for the last 12 years and was the first cleaner there when the Council took over the building. She was presented with gifts and flowers as well wishers filled the conference room to wish her a happy retirement. “I’ve really enjoyed working here and will miss all the people I have come to know over the years,” she said.
“I’m not even sure I really want to retire yet,” she added. Tina was born in Italy and, after marrying a British Serviceman during the Second World War, she arrived by train with other war brides without being able to speak a word of English. After arriving in England Tina and her husband moved to Hereford where they settled and raised a family.
