They say – “the story of a town is the story of its people”.
Take Newtown, in mid Wales – thousands of families were drawn to the area by the booming textile industry. Centuries later, Newtown is still a community of old blood and new faces. Jenny has lived here all her life – but that doesn’t make organising the town carnival any easier. There’s Stephen, a horse whisperer who’s moved here so he can talk to the animals – if they’ll listen. And then there’s Mike, who’s swapped the bright lights of London for the lush fields of Wales – but all he really needs...is water.
They’re all part of the ebb and flow of country life.
