“Everything was very different, growing up with no electricity, running water or the comforts of modern life gave me a perspective on life which has stayed with me.
“Being part of a family of six children had its own experiences that many of my friends and neighbours can relate to. It was a life before television so you had to discover the world around you for yourself and being in the countryside on the lough shore I was always close to nature.”
