I’ve said it before, if N could stay on the farm all the time helping out he would. He’d be quite happy trailing his dad around, or his uncle. And apart from wanting to go on holidays, he would happily…
I loved N at 5 years old, but at 6 he’s coming into his own and really is a loving little boy. My brother was the same as a boy, really loving and caring with our mum, whereas I always…
Last year I was really impressed with N’s willingness to do one of the ‘interview with’. He even agreed to do it on camera. And for the first time I got more out of him than previously. So I had…
