Abingdon, Cambridgeshire.
Various shots of a large family - the Gregorys - having their tea together. We see them leaving the house, the girls wear headscarves and dungarees. They are a family of farmers.
Narration explains that the Gregorys have what we all dream of: a home, a bit of land, peace and happiness among our loved ones. The Gregorys have found their way out of the pre-war depression by acquiring this farm. It is on an estate run by the Land Settlement Association - set up to give people like the Gregorys the right kind of start.
