Description

Moss family holidays to Henley-on-Thames, Belgium and the French Riviera. Boats sail down the River Thames and a young Judith Moss chases pigeons. The family Bentley car is hoisted onto a ferry as they prepare to set sail for Belgium. Judith and Freda Moss play with friends on Ostend sea front pushing a toy car and having donkey rides, and a group of children play on the beach as linking hands and dancing. Footage includes a visit to Bruges showing the Market Square and cafes, female members of the family pedal a vehicle on the promenade of Knokke and Judith Moss takes a motorboat ride with her father William on a lake. The reel continues with shots of houses near Le Souts, more beach scenes and the ferry returning home to Dover. Vanessa and Judith Moss are later seen playing at their family home and playing on the beach at Juan-les-Pins
