Description

Compilation reel begins with wedding guests walking towards camera past a crowd of well wishers, who are kept in order by policemen. The bride and groom are seen leaving church and cutting the wedding cake. The guests mingle at an outdoor reception and the bride and groom depart. We see shots of a woman hand feeding a fox in an enclosure and carrying the fox in a field. Children and adults have fun sledging down a snowy embankment. A woman leads a pony into a courtyard. We see jockeys riding their horses over brush fences in field. A woman places a bet with a bookmaker. We see shots of harvested fields, a group sitting on a picnic rug near a cliff top and people in the sea messing about with a canoe. We see a large group of children squashed on to a see saw and boys wrestling, boxing and riding bikes in the garden.
