Creative days mingle with tending to the bee hives, growing food in their raised beds and keeping open house for any neighbour who feels inclined to drop by for a gossip, a mug of tea or a word of advice.

The sense of tranquillity is palpable, and the film almost seems designed to lower your blood pressure.
