Description

A mixture of scenes from a variety of locations. We see scenes from a family holiday in the countryside. Women wash pots in the grounds of a cottage, and the family appear to be doing work on the dilapidated cottage and it's grounds as well as relaxing and having fun. We see scenes from the University of Liverpool Botanic Gardens and from Blackpool Illuminations. There are family scenes at Pat's 21st birthday party. We see Snowdon Mountain Railway, there are shots from the moving train, and then shots of the train arriving at the top. There are scenes from a motocross event. We see a show with a performing bear. The bear has been trained to dance, ride a bicycle and sit on a rocking horse. There is also a dolphin show where dolphins perform various tricks. There are scenes from a what appears to be a bird centre. We see a sign for the Wildfowl Trust and then there are shots of various wildfowl. We also see exotic birds and birds of prey. There are shots too of a prairie dog in its enclosure.
