Description

Haymaking scenes near Todmorden in West Yorkshire; a man sits on a horse-drawn scythe whilst other men rake the cut hay. Snowy scenes in Prestbury village and the Cheshire countryside. There are brief shots of Mrs Ricketts and her family wearing fur coats and eating a picnic at Hatchmere near Delamere Forest. The film ends with scenes of a rough sea crashing against the sea wall at Meols on the Wirral.
