Farmer · the hill above Gullbrae
Fiona
Fiona farms the hill above Gullbrae and lives in the wee old white cottage that has been there as long as anyone remembers. She is practical, observant and fond of her animals, Hamish most of all.
“Hamish gets the right feed, Eddie. A useful leftover still needs the right destination.”
What she’s known for
Finding Eddie’s first explanation entertaining, then helping him make it clearer. She names what an animal needs before talking about anything else.
Her tip for home
Food scraps from your kitchen are never food for farm animals, or even pet hens. They go in the food caddy.
