In the Somerset village of Nunney there lives a woman with a very fruity passion.
In the next six programmes, cook and baker Margaret Vaughan shares her joy of hedgerow fruits and shows us a year in the life of her wonderful country wines. Her passion for the countryside is baked into her bread, cooked into her country dishes and bottled into her wines.
