Kingsland, Herefordshire for adorable collie puppies, haymaking and a child's birthday tea in a barn. Rhayader for sheep dog trials and more.

The sheep dog trials near Llangorse Lake, Brecon, close this reel but it opens with haymaking and adorable collie pups at Shirlheath Farm, near Kingsland, Herefordshire, farmed by John Edward James (a sheep dog trials champion), 1940-1995. John's daughter, Gwyneth, celebrates her 8th birthday in delightful style with tea in a barn. The film-maker, John's brother, involved in thermo-nuclear research at Harwell, includes shots of his new bungalow at Rhayader.
