It was love at first sight for the couple, who met when Mrs Fairburn was looking for someone to install a farm track at her home. After searching in the Yellow Pages, she came across Mr Fairburn's firm.

He said: 'I opened the Land Rover door when I arrived and said that's the girl I'm going to marry.'

Now the couple are successful sheep breeders, and won top honours at last year's Lincolnshire show.
