Description

Groups of people assemble in town, meeting and chatting on the street. At the beach, women feed the seagulls, go on a fairground boat ride, and they feed chips to the gulls both on the beach and from a wooden pier, A family assemble in the garden - the girls are wearing school uniform - and sit together. There is a shot of horned cattle in a field, and there is a garden where an old man mows his lawn, while a very old man receives a buttonhole. The location shifts to a clifftop walk. In what seems like an earlier period, very formally dressed people play with a small child, and sit in deckchairs.
