Description

A woman and a young boy walk along the promenade of Parkgate before returning to their parked car. Next they visit Thurstaston and go for a walk before visiting the beach where they throw stones into the sea. The man with them can be seen wearing a military uniform. In the next scene, the group are in Wales where they visit Swallow Falls and Valle Crucis Abbey. In Winsford, a group of people can be seen sitting outside a lodge. Out on the river, some people can be seen in a rowing boat while others are in an inflatable boat. On the beach, the group play football, cricket and enjoy a picnic together. The film ends with the boys attempting to fly their toy wind up aeroplanes, the adults don't have much luck either!
