Working on a farm includes plenty of memorable moments!
Somethimes tractors and their chaffeurs need rescuing, and these operations, well….. enjoy the show! Here are a few glimpses of what could be seen as the downside of farming.
Farming is fun! Tractors are fun, and sometimes playing in the dirt is not as much fun as one would think…
This picture is from back in the 1960’s (probably), and the image shows Vaag, farm no. 23/1. The red buildings down left is Vågheim and above you it, the white house to the left is Nytun (still standing, just different color). Vågheim is where my riding track is located today. The buildings of Vågheim was torn down in the early 1990’s.
The area around was called Vågsgrenda, and consisted of around 10 little farms and severeal smaller houses. Today there are only two farms left. Some of the older farmbuildings are still standing, but most of them are gone. Modern times led to different patterns of locating houses, and now Vågsgrenda has sort of transformed into “Fikkan”. Fikkan is really on the other side of the bay Vågsvågen, but the name is now used for Vågsgrenda due to the school that used to be close by and now the houses built more centered in “municipal building areas” around the school-building.
