A West Belfast man has spoken of his pride as he enters his eleventh year owning the bakery he used as a young child.
Jimmy O'Connor, from Beechmount, has worked in the baking industry for as long as he can remember and now spends every day either baking or prepping ingredients for the next day.
O'Connor's Bakery on the Falls Road has been on the stretch for over 50 years, with Jimmy recalling spending many of his childhood days through their doors.
Speaking to Belfast Live, the 61-year-old said while he thought he would be retired at this age, he's still enjoying every minute of work.
"I have baked my whole life and have worked in numerous places," he said.
"I ended up working in this place for about seven years then the opportunity came up for me to buy it. I started working here when I was around 42.
"I remember it when I was a kid and I'm 61 now. It was very special to get the chance to buy it, somewhere I'd been going into for decades. I wish I had of done it when I was younger. I thought I'd be retired by now - it is a lot of work. It's seven days a week.
"Even when you go on holidays you'd be getting phone calls so I've told the team, 'if the place is on fire, don't phone me, phone the fire brigade'.
"My daughter works with us and one of the bakers, I have worked with my whole life. The others, I have known them from working in bakery, we have always worked together. It's good craic."
It's not often that the Falls Road stands still - and taking this on board, Jimmy's doors open from 2 o'clock in the morning, six mornings a week.
And from this time, he's serving sausage roll baps, Belfast bap, sweet treats and tray bakes right through to 3.30pm.
"I pull the shutters up at two in the morning. I have people come in at that time for sausage roll baps. I always think, we are here anyway, so why not open the shutters?
"I probably know every taxi man on the road from coming in, kids coming from the clubs. So we open at 2am right through until 3.30pm. Between 8 and 9 in the morning is our busiest time, because that would be the school rush.
"I want to say, to the people who have been supporting us for the last 11 years, I can't thank them enough. I get on well with all my customers and I hope they feel the same.
"O'Connor's Bakery to me, it means everything. It's not only my livelihood, but the livelihood of my children and my grandchildren too."
