So David, are you still set on getting a job as a lighthouse keeper?0:05
I mean, good for you and everything, but I still find it a tad unusual.0:08
You know, it's been a dream of mine forever, Adam.0:12
Most boys back then wanted to be engine drivers or police officers, but that never crossed my mind.0:15
I even remember telling my parents about my dream job when I was about 10 years old.0:21
I must say I admire you for following a childhood dream.0:26
How does your wife feel about your decision?0:29
Well, Susan is all for it.0:31
I'd thought she'd laugh at my boyhood dream, but to my amazement, she's thrilled.0:33
She too is starting to find suburban life a bit dull.0:38
What's your next step?0:41
Are you just going to start sending out applications?0:42
Actually, becoming a lighthouse keeper is not as easy as I had imagined.0:45
I didn't know that most lighthouses no longer have lighthouse keepers in residence.0:50
Thanks to the new technology, they're automatically operated from control centres many miles away.0:54
Is that the end of your dreams then?1:01
She was surfing the net one day and happened to find this article about Lundi, a small island off the coast of Devon.1:06
I know about Lundi, a tiny uninhabited island off the south west English coast.1:12
Well, that's what I thought too, but there's actually 30 people living there.1:18
Anyway, Susan found out that the island authorities are advertising for staff to help manage the local facilities.1:22
And they're asking for a lighthouse keeper too.1:29
I've already applied.1:31
If you get the job, what will you do with your house on the mainland?1:34
Are you going to sell it before you move to Lundy?1:38
Let's see if I get the job first and then Susan and I will talk about it.1:40
