What is your earliest memory?

My earliest memory was when I was 2 years old on holiday and my dad got me a fishing net. He convinced me that the plastic fish were real and I tried to eat them.

What drew you to The Stove?

I think what interested me most about the stove was the fact everyone is on the same team, it’s like one big family striving to make things better for everyone.

Which person do you most admire, and why?

I admire anyone who can go through a huge ordeal and still manage to smile at the end of the day.

What time of the day do you like most?

I love seeing the sunset, its so relaxing to see and I find the duller tone more calming.

Share your hope and dreams for The Stove?

I hope that the stove will continue to strive and be the main attraction of Dumfries and Galloway.
