EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of rural life in the 1970s, as depicted in the image of farmer Tom Herring with his faithful old sheepdog in the orchard of his farm, Walterstone, situated in the idyllic countryside of Herefordshire. The farmer, dressed in worn work clothes and a well-worn cap, exudes a sense of contentment and satisfaction as he takes a break from his labors. In his hand, he holds a crooked stick, a common tool for herding his sheep. His loyal companion, a crooked-legged sheepdog, rests at his feet, keeping a watchful eye on the surrounding apple trees laden with ripe fruit. The barn and other farm buildings can be seen in the background, adding to the rustic charm of the scene. Tom's pipe clenched between his teeth and a wisp of smoke rising from it, completes the picture of a simple, yet fulfilling way of life. The orchard, with its lush green foliage and ripe apples, is a testament to the hard work and dedication of this humble countryman. This photograph, taken circa 1975, is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, where the rhythms of nature and the bonds between man and his animals shaped the daily life of farmers like Tom Herring.
