“Tomato” addict. Gotcha ;)
He's the only man I have met that could eat tomatoes 3 or 4 times a day, fried tomatoes and tomato on toast were some of his favourite things, typical batchelor :rolleyes:

He lived to the ripe age of 79 so they can't have been too bad, spent a lot of time fussing over the things in his glasshouses and avoiding the stockwork :LOL:
that's probably the secret :LOL::LOL:

I think he was "hopeless with stock" on purpose as when Dad went into hospital he did do very well
Even the mention of getting the sheep in or doing something with cattle and he was off like a shot, had cheques to post or GST to do :LOL::LOL:
but he was one of those guys who would try to move the front sheep by chasing the 1000 behind her, we all know "those type" :banghead:
