Description

Footage of the Brickhill family on holiday in North Wales and at their family home in Cheshire. The film begins with the family at Black Rock Sands playing in rock pools, watched by their elderly parents beside their car; the group then have a picnic on the moors. Back at their house in Cheshire, camera tricks are used to show the women walking backwards in the garden and a game of croquet is played.
