Our Bloke…Ian ‘Bunda’ Breen

3 December, 2014 By Canowindra Phoenix Editor

DSC_0050How long have you lived in Canowindra?
I’m the fourth generation of Breen’s to be born here. I’ve lived here all my life in the same house for 69 years.
Where do you work?
On the farm that the family has owned for 108 years. We specialise in prime lambing production and I also drive the school bus a few days a week
What do you do in your spare time?
Poke around on the farm mainly
Favourite place? Canowindra. This was a great place to grow up in in the 50’s and 60’s. I used to go to The Strand Theatre which is now Billy Pauls Carpet Shop and the shows would always be booked out! I’ve never really wanted to go anywhere else
Worst habit?
I talk too much and don’t listen enough!
How do you like your coffee?
Once a day, cappuccino with one sugar…and I couldn’t go a day without having a beer. 6 o’clock is beer o’clock.
If you won the lotto what would you spend the money on?
I’d help my boys out but I definitely wouldn’t buy anymore sheep!
