Description

The Hodkinson family at home in Marple and on holiday in the Lake District, Blackpool and North Wales. Jane and Christine fly kites on a beach and paddle in the sea on a grey day. After shots of a royal visit to Manchester, with Royal Guards parading down Princess Street, there are holiday scenes featuring Blackpool, Lowther Wildlife Park, castles around Penrith, and the Lake District. Domestic scenes include the girls playing in the garden with a puppy, birthday parties and relatives visiting at Christmas. There is brief footage of Blackpool illuminations and the film concludes with visits to Conway, Swallow Falls, Llandudno and Anglesey.
