An old farm.  by pyrrhula

An old farm.

(An older pic.) I took this pic. of an old farm in May and later I`ve met the old retired farmer. He told me this was the oldest farm and farmhouse of the island . I believe he said build in 1840. I `ve no reasons to doubt this. The roof of the barn is covert with reed. (Thatched roof) Often used in our country.
How beautiful, this farm and your photo of it. How nice to meet the retired farmer. It is so well kept up for being the oldest, 1840. You live in such an amazingly beautiful country. FAV

A nice shot it is. and how about meeting the old farmer. I bet you had a long conversation with him. so does he know his home and field can be seen on the internet. I agree when people say you live in a lovely country. it's true you do.
