During a wet winter, drainage systems comes under pressure. Ion Trant of Maesmawr Hall, Welshpool, climbs a ladder to attend to a gutter; his son, David, rods a field drain. A new drain is laid to avoid future waterlogging. Cattle in a grass-free mudbath of a field appreciate some sweet hay, and calves are bucket or udder fed. This film reel itself has been affected by water. Mould has bloomed on it, hence the patterning (quite attractive in its own right) over many of the images.
