Sinclair Cottage Farm Kitchen

Sinclair Farm has belonged to the Sinclair family for multiple generations. It was on the brink of collapse for a while, until Michael Sinclair renovated it and saved it from going under. Michael ran the farm with his wife Glenda for years, raising their twin daughters Caoihme and Roisin on the land. Michael is a very serious, often grumpy man, who has no qualms letting people know what he thinks of them, but is extremely family-oriented and deeply loves his relatives.

Now, their daughters have grown up, and Glenda has passed from an illness over ten years ago. Caoimhe has devoted her adult life to God, and became a nun in her twenties.

Roisin is married to a man named Domhnall, who Michael often gives a hard time, not thinking he's good enough for his daughter, then again, no one could be in Michael's eyes. Roisin has a very similar temperament to her father and mostly spends her time running the household and trying to keep her eldest daughter Orla in check. 

Domhnall, Roisin's husband, is a little dim-witted, but is a very skilled farmer and gardener. He absolutely worships the ground his wife walks on and adores his children. Sometimes his laid back parenting skills clash with his wife's stricter rules, however.

Orla is a bit of a wild child, often coming home late and encouraging her usually well behaved best friend Aoife to rebel. She is often getting into trouble with the nuns at her school, and her aunt Caoimhe sees a lot of herself in Orla at that age. Orla and her mother often clash.

Sinead is a dream child, well behaved and extremely studious. Her goody two shoes behaviour gets on the nerves of her older sister, who often makes fun of her for being a boffin. Sinead loves animals, and is a vegetarian, much to her mother's chagrin. She wants to be a vet when she's older.

Rian is still young, but is already showing signs of loving the outdoors.

Caoimhe lives in the parish with the other nuns, and is a well respected member of the community. Roisin and her don't have the best of relationships, as Roisin remembers what an out of control mess she used to be before suddenly turning to the light.

Michael's twin brother Gerry moved in just over a year ago in a caravan on their land. He helps out with the farming sometimes, but usually spends his time in his caravan, smoking a joint and playing guitar. His grandniece Orla thinks he's the coolest person, but Roisin thinks he's a lazy sod.
