Description

The Griffiths family set off on a holiday to Chester and are seen being greeted by Uncle Percy and his family. They all visit Chester Zoo. The two mothers go to Liverpool for the day and the dads and children stay home doing the chores! They also visit the beach at Talacre and Gronant, North Wales. Lots of footage of Pat and Peter Griffiths in the garden at home in Blackburn. Baby David arrives and there is lots more footage of them all in various places. Another trip to the zoo ends the film.
