Following on from the hugely popular Out of Town, Old Country saw Jack Hargreaves continue his exploration of rural life in Thomas Hardy country – reflecting on its character, traditions, history and folklore, and the skills that had passed from generation to generation.
Jack discusses the nuances of walking sticks, where one might acquire a proper one, or how one could craft one from an appropriate plant in a copse. He goes on to elucidate the importance of copses to the farm. There is a demonstration of the building of a wattle hurdle from wood found in such copses, and the importance therein is portrayed.
