Toddling at Maesmawr Hall, Welshpool


Finding her feet: a young Rosemary Trant toddles about the garden of the farm Maesmawr Hall, near Welshpool, in the capacious knitted trousers so redolent of the period, complete with knee patches. On this sunny, spring day home offers a variety of interesting encounters: hens, sister Clare, brother David with towing tricycle, a collie dog, a donkey and mother Janet with a Hohner button accordion, playing music that causes Rosemary to circle around dancing.
