Like squirrels, humans too can store food for the winter! Here Clare and Rosemary Trant of Maesmawr Hall farm, Welshpool, cover circular layers of carrots – plus beetroot and parsnips - with sand, creating a bee-hive shaped construction that will ensure the vegetables keep well for months. The edible chestnuts they collect with their brother, David, are not stored - they are roasted over the open fire that evening, as their mother plays tunes on the button accordion.
