JOYCE Morgan has cycled thousands of miles during the last 28 years in the course of her work as a home carer.

Now Mrs Morgan, who will be 65 later this month, is retiring from her job in Acomb.

She has always cycled from house to house-cooking, cleaning and shopping for the elderly and the housebound.

Mrs Morgan has been with one client for eight years. Her proud daughter-in-law said: "She'll do anything for anybody."

She celebrated her retirement with a party at Acomb council offices on Wednesday.
