Description

Varied compilation including a group of men visiting the Silverdale countryside, shots of dirt track racing in Blackpool and 'The Zedders' (a group of friends with dogs) getting out of a car and having a drink outdoors. Two women are seen stood in a back garden of a cottage clearing the pond of weeds and walking around lawn with dogs. A group of men and women link hands as they skate on frozen Barrow Park Lake. The Parkinson's visit the ruins of Ludlow Castle and two women sit in a open top car combing their hair and packing away flasks. The reel continues with shots of the changing of the guard outside Buckingham Palace.
