Description |
Scenes from a Dempsey family bicycle ride. The opening home-made title reads 'A Lonewolf Film presenting "Spring Cycle Ride" '. We see the Dempsey family cycling round country lanes, a sign they point to indicates that they are in Eaves near Preston. There is a visit to a farm included in their day trip, where we see the family looking at the farmyard animals. The family make stops along the way. They have a picnic, pick flowers, make daisy chains and paddle in a stream. We then see the family back home. The boys have a bath, and then we see them in the sitting room. The younger boy plays with toys while his older brother sticks stamps in his album. Mrs Dempsey sews and Mr Dempsey reads and smokes his pipe. We then see the boys in bed. |
