What inspired you to sign up for Farmer Wants a Wife?

My mum and some close friends signed me up, so the phone call came as a surprise!

How would your friends and family describe you in three words?

Stubborn, determined, opportunistic.

What qualities are you looking for in your ideal woman?

A lady who is nice, different, unusual. Someone who is a glass-half-full type who doesn’t hold a grudge, and has her own aspirations and dreams in life. A lady who is caring and loves animals and doesn’t mind having a few poddy lambs in the garden. A lady who is honest and open with me and has an anything-is-possible attitude, which is really important. She also needs to know how to mix with a wide range of people. Let’s not forget she needs to be happy and positive with life, value nice things and be willing to work to get them.

What should potential dates know about dating a farmer?

Dating a farmer is full of positives. You can have as many pets as you like, unless it’s a cat! Plenty of space and fresh air. The only downfall would be when things stuff up, you're the only one able to get yourself out of the situation.

What's the most romantic thing you’ve ever done for someone?

I organised a candlelit dinner by the beach followed by an amazing back massage, then a cheeky skinny-dip somewhere quiet — without being eaten by a shark.

Do you believe in love at first sight?
