Description

Domestic scenes of the Parkinson family showing young girl (possibly Pam?) playing with toy car and with other children and pet dogs in the back garden of the family home. Includes sequences of a magician performing tricks for the camera, as he makes children disappear into a toy rabbit with his cloak. There are shots of Abersoch sea front with boats sailing close to the shore and people crowding around an aeroplane as it taxis along the beach. A couple in bathing costumes throw a hoop back and forth to each other. Concludes with shots of a waterfall in the Welsh mountains.
