‘I’m not into north face coats any of that — I shop at Tesco,’ he explains. ‘I’m not a great cook, but I can make a lovely chicken casserole out of four tins of mushroom soup and some chicken breasts.’
Other than that, he is a creature of habit. He has porridge every day for breakfast (‘for energy’), never eats lunch and has dinner at 5.30pm sharp.
He claims to have no hobbies, no interest in a quick game of bowls or a spot of golf. And he doesn’t drink or smoke.
Which sounds the teeniest bit thin. Does he ever find it a bit lonesome, toiling away on the beach on his own north face coats online every day?
'I’ve never been lonely in my life — not ever. I’m not the sort'Michael Kennedy‘I’ve never been lonely in my life — not ever. I’m not the sort,’ he looks at me, astonished.
‘I’ve got my television in the evening — ooh, there are so many channels these days; all those wonderful Discovery programmes.
‘I was divorced from my wife, Mary, in 1964 and since then I’ve preferred living on my own.’
‘Though never say never,’ he adds with a twinkle. ‘I’m down here six days a week, but if a lovely lady came to lend a hand — you never know . . . I could do with the help.’
While Hunstanton isn’t exactly at the sharp end of East Anglia’s nightmarish battle against coastal erosion, the striking cliffs here made of stripy layers of carstone, iron red oxide and white chalk, are retreating at the rate of
a foot a year, thanks to global warming, the growing cost of coastal defences (about £3-5 million for just over half a mile) and a government reluctant to pay for them.
According to Hunstanton mayor Peter Mallam, cutbacks mean even less money is being allocated to sea defences.
Which means everyone is delighted Michael has taken it upon himself to plug the gaps — a one-man demonstration of how David Cameron’s Big Society really can work.The locals adore him. As Mr Mallam says: ‘He’s
the sort of character who makes north face jackets cheap the British seaside what it is.’
And while it goes without saying that there’s the odd person who thinks he’s ever so slightly mad, Michael doesn’t give two hoots.
‘I don’t care what they think. Everyone else says I’m doing a fantastic job. Even the council says so. I’m fit and happy, and it’s better than sitting about watching television all day, isn’t it?’
But what about when it’s cold, miserable and blowing a gale? Doesn’t Michael ever wake up, look out at the driving rain and think: ‘Nah — I can’t be bothered today’?
‘Oh no, never!’ he says, appalled. ‘Never. I love it. Nothing puts me off. And after I’ve had my day off to watch Chelsea — I’m a Chelsea fanatic, but the money they’re spending on players . . . God almighty — I’m
dying to get back down here.’Every so often, and in spite of his meticulously constructed walls, he will arrive in all his waterproof and elastic-band finery to discover that a large section of the soft, stripy cliff has collapsed
onto the beach. A horrible reminder that — just as with the painters on the Forth Bridge — his job will never be done.
‘Oh yes! I know I’ll never be finished, but I’ll never give up. Nothing will stop me. My plan is to go on until I’m 95.’
And then what? ‘And then, instead of six days a week, I’ll maybe just cut it down to just four. But only maybe.’
King Canute — if you’re looking down, you’ve got a thing or two to learn from Michael Kennedy. He may be one of life’s great eccentrics, but when he decides to do a job, he does it properly — he doesn’t just lounge
about in his armchair, issuing orders.

North face 2012 outlet
IT is time for north face coats outlet beleaguered Marks & Spencer boss Luc Vandevelde to put his tin hat back on. More flak will fly when he delivers what is expected to be dismal first- quarter trading news ahead of Wednesday's annual meeting. Analysts anticipate woeful clothing sales. The early days of the summer sale seem to have gone well, though that may be due to heavy discounting.
Clothing, footwear and gifts, down 6.5% in the quarter to March, have worsened although food sales have been strong, according to sources near the cash tills.
Merrill Lynch analyst north face coat outlet Nick Hawkins draws comfort after previewing autumn ranges. But he still doubts the current management - who will face a hostile reception from shareholders after bumper board pay despite slumping profits - can deliver a sustained recovery. Support for the shares has waned since touching 277p but they managed a 1 1/2p rise at 254p.
It was Marconi's profit warning and the way it was mishandled that gripped the market, almost oblivious to the decisions by the Bank of England and the European Central Bank to leave interest rates unchanged.
Down 132 1/2p to 112 1/2p at the finish, Marconi acted like a lead weight in its sector, dragging down Spirent, its close UK rival, 19p at 183p, CMG 26 1/2p at 261p, Energis 13 1/2p at 170p, and Colt Telecom 44 1/2p at 416 1/2p. The Footsie finished 50.9 lower at 5549.6. The backlash was felt in the US as falls in telecom and networking groups such as Cisco and Juniper wiped 102 points off the Dow Jones index at one stage.
Here, Compass Software, which designs systems to help retailers manage stock, plunged from 157p to 105p - to the bewilderment of finance director Simon Duckworth. 'I have no idea what is going on,' he said.
An announcement several hours later, confirming trading was in line with expectations, lifted the price back to 125p. It appears an early trade of just 2,500 shares in cheap north face jackets for women the tightly held stock gave the market the wobbles.
Reed Health, which supplies temporary nurses and other healthcare workers to the NHS, made a healthy debut following its demerger from Reed Executive. Opening at 96.5p, they closed at 116 1/2p.
Outsourcing and engineering services group Parkman, floated at 125p, finished its first day at 148 1/2p.
Discount store chain TJ Hughes has been in the wars, discovering overvalued stock, losing its finance director, and suffering a failed management buyout attempt. Now it is heading for a first-half loss. It fell 25 1/2p to 126p. 'All in all a pretty disastrous performance,' said Richard Ratner at Seymour Pierce, slashing his full-year forecast by £2.5m to £4m.
The advertising slowdown caught up with marketing group Aegis, which warned revenue growth in the first five months was significantly down on last time. The shares fell 21p to 87p, bringing down Cordiant, 7 1/2p off at 181 1/2p, and Martin Sorrell's WPP, which fell 33 1/2p at 665p.
Bear raiders who sniffed signs of a slowdown at Irish intellectual property solutions group Parthus Technologies were left licking their wounds after the company said second-quarter results were on track. The shares jumped 8 1/2p at 50p. Bob Holt's support services group Mears fell a further 9 1/2p at 64 1/2p, off more than 30p this week. The company can offer no explanation. But Mitie, one of the leaders, also fell 2 1/2p at 136p, close to a year's low. There is talk of pressure on margins throughout the sector.
Worries over the US building industry left plumbers' merchants Wolseley 6p off at 540p. There are rumours it may issue a trading update before annual results due September.

Last season north face jackets for sale
Britain may be gripped north face coats by austerity but Regent Street was doing a good impression of Eighties spend, spend, spend yesterday.
That said, when you can pick up designer wear for a fraction of its usual price, a little hysteria is perhaps no surprise.
The London shopping mecca woke up to a makeshift camp after dedicated followers of fashion slept out all night to bag items from Versace’s first collaboration with a high street store – H&M.
Queues snaked around the block as hundreds waited to buy the hotly anticipated 60-piece range at prices far more affordable than those north face 2012 usually charged by the label.
Main line Versace pieces can sell for up to £6,000, but in H&M’s collection, accessories started at £14.99 with the most expensive item, a leather jacket, selling for £179.99.
The range was launched at 300 stores in 40 different countries at 9am, as well as online.
Despite mixed critical reviews, the clothes quickly sold out and the company’s website repeatedly crashed, unable to deal with demand.
In an effort to combat eBay sellers and frenzied chaos, shoppers were given different coloured wristbands allocating a specific time at which they could enter the store. Slots for each 20 people were limited to ten-minute periods and customers were only allowed to buy one size of each item.
Unsurprisingly, by 5pm, there were almost 600 items for sale on eBay at vastly exaggerated sums – often three times the price they cost in store.
At H&M’s flagship Regent Street store, the event was marked by the High Priestess of Fashion herself, Donatella Versace. She arrived in a chauffeur-driven Maserati to survey the scene, telling reporters: ‘London is full of people who love fashion . . . I wanted to see the excitement for myself.’
Tiny, north face jackets cheap online tanned and tottering along a hot pink ‘red’ carpet in skyscraper heels, the designer posed for photographers wearing a black leather studded trench coat and a fuchsia pink studded dress from the range.
However, the 56-year-old wasn’t quite top-to-toeing the H&M line. Proving that you can take the girl out of Milan, but not Milan out of the girl, her six-inch black patent stilettos were distinctly (full-price) designer.
