"I am a farmer entrepreneur. I have got two daughters to look after. They are both in University, married with children. We have two houses, but they constantly fight over everything - it's a nightmare!!! I am looking after 16 pigs to provide cash for their education etc. It's all money, money, money!!!
I used to have four horses but the vet told me one was really sick. He never even looked at the thing; he just overheard a rumour that it was rolling on its back a lot. It was just a one meal of wet hay but it would have been ok soon - I had to kill it. My other horse has a young foal, so I cannot use it for work. I am working like a slave, truly like a slave.
I liked art a lot. I used to paint too but then, I tried carving on board and really got in to it. I have been doing it since. I carve pictures of deer, animals in the woods, flowers and all that stuff - all my family and friends have one of my pieces. I have none left at home - even got my son in laws hooked on it. It's a great present to give someone for their birthday, anniversary, house warming etc.
I really fancy you - although I'm not so young anymore.
