We then people sat at outside tables taking tea at Brighstone Tea Gardens on the Isle of Wight. There are shots of Tintern Abbey and of the Lynton Court Hotel in Bournemouth. There are London street scenes, the roads are busy with traffic. There are snowy street scenes in what looks to be a northern location, we see customers visiting Brenton's corner shop in the snow. There are scenes from a lido, and then we see an elderly man and woman gardening. The film ends with scenes from an agricultural show. There are cattle and horse shows, and a motorbike display team put on a show where various stunts are performed.
