Description

A compilation of scenes from the Hopwood family. We see the family celebrating Christmas at home. A man and two girls play Twister in the living room while two women prepare food in the kitchen. All of the rooms in the house are filmed, some have been stripped ready to be decorated and a lady flips through a book of wallpaper samples. There are wedding scenes, an older couple get married and we see them as they leave the church. We see the children playing in a playground, and the family relaxing on deckchairs in the garden. We see the family in a busy restaurant, there is a birthday cake on the table and they light the candles. We see a family holiday to Devon, we see them enjoying themselves on the beach at Woolacombe Sands, and in Ilfracombe where they stay at the Runnacleave Hotel.
