Description |
Compilation of varied family leisure footage, including a mealtime; sporting scenes as people practise their golf swings and tennis serves; garden scenes – a man digging in a border, and close-up shots of family and friends. In winter, some people go tobogganing or lark around in the snow, and there is an informal hockey match. Away from home, shire horses pull a plough, aided by farm workers; there is an open-air display of dancing and physical exercises at a girls’ school; people enjoy messing about in boats, and there is fun at the seaside and in an open-air pool. |
