Just take a mental note while reading this article, those people that moved out, probably had to move out because there was no place/work for them there.
He is a wealthy man that owns a farm. Same story about someone who would be a bartender in a local pub, where he was just an employee serving local drunks, would be much sadder one.
- Barrin92 6y ago>He is a wealthy man that owns a farm. He's got 70 sheep mate. In Romania (IIRC) they'll unironically gift you farms like this because there's nobody else there to maintain them and you basically get some land for free. As the man himself points out it's a very simple life that involves a lot of hard work during all seasons, he's not privileged. Most people move out because life even in the service industry is easier.
- dannyw 6y agoI don't know, big difference between running a farm and working as a bartender.
- berkut 6y agoWhat makes you say he's wealthy?
- robotmay 6y agoHis land is probably somewhat valuable compared to the local area, but West Wales is rural and the land is steep and hilly - it is really only good for raising sheep. And he's had it his whole life, so that value is meaningless to him. However yes, you are right that many local people will have had to move away for work. Aside from Aberystwyth there's not a huge amount of work out that way. Lots of them will come down south to Cardiff and Swansea.
