From his village in Essex C. Gordon Glover watches the changing seasons: with the departure of the holidaymakers the villages come into their own.

Harry Soan compares villages to fields: few are alike and it is often a battle between the growing crops and the human stinging nettle.

Bob Danvers-Walker investigates an old custom among the fells of Cumberland; Martin Muncaster takes an autumn look at his native Sussex; and Eric Simms visits an East Anglian broadland in the company of Fred Simms who lives there.
