‘What makes me happy is seeing people doing well and collectively the community doing well. People no longer need to emigrate to find work, they can now stay and experience the beauty of the place that they were born in.

It was more difficult in the past, we did not have the facilities they have now. I love seeing the changes for the better and people having more control over their lives. 

I was brought up on a farm and I was a farmer all my life. I have 4 sons and 2 daughters and they all live here, its great to have them around.

The best advice I could give anybody is respect others and treat them as you would like to be treated’.
