Description

A compilation of scenes from the Wilson family. We see the family at home on Lowside Avenue. A woman is in the garden, she prunes and picks flowers and sits on a bench knitting. A man can be seen in the fields behind the house on a horse drawn hay turner. We then see Lowside Avenue covered in snow, the family play in the snow and the man attempts to clear the snow with a shovel. The couple can then be seen looking out of their window at what appears to be their car buried in snow, the man then attempts to dig it out. There follow scenes from a camping trip. The woman fries eggs on a camping stove and later makes tea. We see the family washing their faces in the outdoors. There are beach scenes, the woman is filmed in the sea, and a group of people admire the scenery with a telescope.
