First up is sheep and cattle farmer Christine, 32. She said: “Basically I want a best friend, someone who’s there by my side, who wants to be with me all the time and is willing to listen to all my nonsense.
“For me, it’s about having a laugh and sharing good times and bad.” Also looking for love is fellow Dumfries and Galloway sheep and cattle farmer Richard, 39. Openly gay, Richard says he struggles to meet men.
He said: “I’m two and a half hours away from the nearest gay scene “Living in an isolated community it’s really difficult to meet people, so it would be wonderful to find someone that I can shareaconnection and special bond with.” He added: “Forarelationship to work I think you’ve got to be committed to each other and be open and honest.”
