Description

Compilation reel of family leisure footage – children run around and play in a suburban garden; they have an assortment of toys including dolls, tricycles and a pedal car. A swing and see-saw are popular, and there are a couple of games of ‘Blind Man’s Bluff’. Family visits to the beach see children building sandcastles and paddling in the sea, also climbing up and rolling down sand dunes. A visit to a farm provides a close-up view of pigs in their pens, and cattle.
