Todays yarn is with Bain Dohne. Bain is an Australian Airforce Veteren, who grew up in South Africa.

Todays yarn is with Marc who tells me all about his crazy antics as a child in Ireland during halloween such as bon fires, blowing up fire works and being chased by a man with a hatchett. 

A yarn about Aarons life with God and religion, a very interesting chat for me as someone who doesn't have a faith in religion. We talk about his baptism at 15, how he stays faithfull to God and how religion helps him through his life.
