It is coming 40 years ago this winter, we became neighbouring farmers in Carew. We are deeply indebted to the help and assisstance we received from Mervyn during those early months (and years) as North Is imports, doing an early dairy conversion. Our thoughts are with you Heather, Judith, Suzie & Lyn, on your sudden loss.
