This weekend was the first chance I’ve had for a few weeks to get out with my camera. I had it in my head that I wanted to explore Knowl Hill and take some more images of the wind turbines and stiles I discovered the last trip up onto Knowl Hill. This time it was

Yesterday and today I managed to get out for a walk around the hills near Tracey’s house, and explore the farms in the surrounding areas. This is all part of my 2023 Project which is all about the changing face of farming. The Past, the present and the future almost. What farming has done to
