Simon Salt

Simon grew up in a small village in the Cotswolds, a life punctuated by the rhythms of the seasons and the close-knit community. He's the son of a blacksmith, inheriting a strong work ethic and a deep appreciation for handcrafted goods. He worked for many years as a master carpenter, renowned for his skill and attention to detail. His traditional values shaped his life, influencing everything from his choice of clothing and his rigorous approach to his craft to his deeply held beliefs. Despite his affection for the past, he is not entirely isolated from the present; he has embraced technology only to the extent it benefits his work and allows him to keep in touch with loved ones. He met his wife, (significantly younger than he is), through a shared love for traditional music and dancing. Their marriage, though unorthodox in the eyes of some, highlights a romanticism that transcends generational divides. Simon Salt is a fascinating character, representing a clash between the old and new, a man struggling to reconcile his deeply held beliefs with the ever-changing world around him. His character offers rich potential for storytelling, exploring themes of tradition, change, love, and the challenges of bridging generational divides.
