Description |
A compilation of scenes from the Blake family. We see a man and a woman approach a biplane, they get in to the plane and the plane is filmed taking off and flying. A man attempts, unsuccessfully, to walk through snow on skis. A group of young people get a car going and are filmed driving along, some of them stood on the outside step of the car. There are shots of groups of village children, they are filmed playing outside and standing by their homes. We see the family sawing and chopping wood. Groups of young people enjoy themselves swimming in lakes and rivers, we also see them sat in a garden being served tea by a maid. There are holiday scenes which include a bullfighting match. We also see a large group of young local men on the beach. One of them performs acrobatics on some acrobatic rings, and some of the family members unsuccessfully attempt to have a go at it too. The family are later seen at a pool diving in from a diving board. The film concludes with harbour scenes, and we see a variety of boats sail off to sea. |
