Description

Steven can be seen holding a birthday card he received for his 10th birthday. Steven and his friends play in the back garden together. A younger boy and his mother stand on the front doorstep and blow bubbles. We see a close up of a Wombles birthday card for Richard's 4th birthday along with his birthday cake. In the garden, Richard does some painting. Dad has to be rescued from a collapsed deckchair. In the house, the children sit around the table and Richard blows out the candles on his cake. For their holidays, the family visit Abersoch. On the beach, the boys fly a Batman kite. Back in the family garden, Richard holds a sign that reads '5 now'. Richard and his friends play in a sandpit and on bicycles. This year Richard had a Dougal from The Magic Roundabout cake. The children play pass the parcel and swingball in the garden before going inside for food and cake.
