If you're a regular commuter on The Village Road/Bernard Road intersection , you would see this lady on the yard adjacent to KFC selling fruits. Well today , I stopped to buy an orange and to chat with this lady. 

She goes by the name of Estella and she's been selling fruits there for over 60years, she said she started when she was only 18years old. A long time isn't it? A mother of four, she says that she enjoys doing what she does. She also had some advice for young Bahamians.
