Raised purely in The Shire... Binty was brought up in an confident community.... Though he -is- different... The shy lad he is, Binty never had many friends as a small boy... Therefore learnt to play the harp by himself... Often in an secluded area where he could avoid social contact. He also liked to keep his 'Pops' garden nice and colourful... Binty is now still fairly shy... Though welcoming to most people, he gains confidence quickly but first impressions are Everything to him...
