A fortnight's holiday at Crabhill House starts with the arrival and reception of the guests. We see them attended by volunteer carers as they relax in the garden or make use of the many facilities on offer. Trips to Hever Castle and Bird World in Farnham are followed by church visits, a barbecue in the garden, a disco and a bizarre version of Swan Lake enacted by the male volunteers. On the last evening the guests enjoy a final meal together before heading for home the next morning.
