My biography title: It’s all part of life’s rich tapestry
Hi, I’m lucky enough to be owner of a traditional inner Hebridean farm Croft. My husband was brought up on the island and is sixth generation of farmers on the island. It’s a perfect spot to chill out, walk and just get back to nature. If you haven’t visited Lismore before then you are in for a special treat!
