“Even as a child I preferred to play in the garden rather than with dolls. This love for plants and animals has remained with me, and although my long work kept me in the city, my heart never left the countryside.

In addition to surrounding myself with animals: dogs, cats, donkeys, hens, geese and many others. It certainly hasn’t been easy to find a place for myself in this male-dominated environment. I have had to earn the respect of other farmers in the field. I initially met with a great deal of incredulity, scepticism and perhaps a touch of mockery. But my stubbornness won through”.

Born on a full moon night, unfortunately, his donkey mother passed away shortly after, leaving the little donkey truly inconsolable.

He plays with the children and brings smiles to the adults.
