Derelict farm, North Pembrokeshire

[Pedrfardd]

Derelict farms are close to my heart - I grew up in this environment and for me they represent the changes in the countryside over the last 20 or so years. Small scale farming is no longer viable and as an older generation of farmers pass on, their sons and grandsons work as builders or council workers or solicitors or teachers: jobs were they get time off and work sociable hours. Lonely empty farms exist on the hills waiting for conversion to holiday homes. Same story everywhere. Life moves on...
