Making do was the way of life as is shown in this shot of farm buildings and fences. This photo was taken years after they left the farm, when some of the boys went back to scatter 'Ron's" ashes on the farm on which they had worked so hard to eke out a living. To this day we still describe a run down, falling down makeshift fence as a "Ron's fence".

Very rustic Liz. There are many farms scattered around the countryside with makeshift fences. Whatever is handy at the time will do.
