In summer 1938 they head to Crosby where they visit a park and boating lake. On the beach, a stall sells Coca-Cola drinks and crowds sit out in the sun. At the playground, the children play on the merry-go-round and the slide. For their summer holidays in 1941, the family visit Deganwy in North Wales. A young boy is seen knocking at the front door of a house. Later the boy spends time in the garden with other family members. They later visit the beach where the young boy builds sandcastles.
