The Bird's-Eye View helicopter flew through the winter of snow-covered Snowdonia, a pheasant shoot in Hampshire, a meet of the North Warwickshire hounds. Spring includes a country wedding, the Spalding Flower Festival and May Day celebrations in Oxfordshire.
Summer - sun-drenched Cotswolds, the rhododendrons and azaleas of Sheffield Park. From Beaulieu to the Lake District, from Devon to Morecambe, the sun shines on sail, sea and mountain top.
Autumn - the harvest is gathered, the trees of the Wye valley turn colour, the stubble is fired.
The year draws to a close with horse and plough and landscapes of snow.
