A baby helps his granddad with the gardening. In the next scene, the family take a boat ride to Alexandra Park. Once at the park, they enjoy ice cream and the children play in the outdoor pool.

At home, the family gather for Aiden's 2nd birthday. Later, Father Christmas visits the home and gives Christmas presents to Mandy and Aiden. The film ends with scenes of friends celebrating New Years Eve in Manchester Steel Club.
