Description

Family trip to Blackpool where the children go on donkey rides, shots of Blackpool tower and very busy beach with lots of people sunbathing and playing on the sand. A lady in a fur coat enjoys some oysters on the beach while a man in a suit does not seem to enjoy them as much. Back at home in the family garden, a baby in a pram smiles for the camera. Different family members take turns holding the baby and playing around for the camera. Later the film returns to the beach in Ireland where the children play on the sand and in the water. The film ends back at the family home where they spend together in the garden and out on the street. The family business' lorry can be seen parked outside the house.
