You're only allowed to comment if you've read the article, which is not long.I have two pieces of fish, an onion, an egg, baked beans and biscuits. Being a farmer means every day is the same.

I have lived in the Teifi valley, in west Wales, all my life: 72 years. I’m a farmer and look after 71 sheep. My boyhood was spent helping my family on the farm. I have never wanted to run away from it, even as a young lad. This valley is cut in the shape of my heart. I once visited a farm in England, about 30 years ago; that was the only time I left Wales.
Many of the friends I grew up with left to find work in the big cities. As a young man, I was offered a job in Scotland on the oil rigs, but I could never leave. My heart belongs here with the birds and the trees. I knew, if I left, I’d be thinking about my valley the whole time, so what would be the point? All I want is right here.
I'll say this much:
i. There are parts of this story I can understand, but it's not my idea of a life.
ii. I'd figured out he was a bachelor long before it was stated!
