A girl displays baskets with fresh apples and eggs outside village shop. High angle C/U shot of the ’real food’ awakens nostalgia for the days when food tasted as food. Lovely fresh bread and jars of Cotswold honey are seen in the window. Although the village has no famous history, it has prosperous antiques shops - tells a voiceover.
