Description

A glimpse into the Swinging Sixties reveals a world of contrasts. Summers were hot, with The Beatles leading the way in music, while Carnaby Street was renowned for its fashion. In this idyllic village, life seemed tranquil, but beneath the surface, four young friends struggled to make ends meet.

Their days were filled with hard work, from gardening and cleaning cars to tidying up the church and helping with hay-making. But on Fridays, they would escape to a seaside resort, where they could let their hair down and enjoy a meal as a rare treat. This was their form of escapism, a way to cancel out boredom and frustration.

Despite the village's picturesque surroundings, including an old church and surrounding woods, these young friends felt trapped by its quiet life. To alleviate their boredom, they would often gather in a hayrick, playing cards and consuming smuggled cider and food. This was their world, one of mischief and pranks, where they could be themselves.
