This remarkable piece of 1970s cine film brings three familiar rural activities back into view: the corn harvest, traditional cider making, and cutting wheat to provide reed for thatched roofs. The three sequences have been brought together in one video, preserving a glimpse of the people, work and countryside of an earlier generation.
