The Moss family at a petting zoo with the children feeding rabbits and deer before a day out at Beeston Castle. Scenes from a school sports day with skipping, sack, wheelbarrow and three legged races. Vanessa on a climbing frame with a cat followed by her brother riding a bike. Underexposed shots of children in party hats at Vanessa's 5th birthday party. The Moss family on a beach, climbing rocks, playing football and paddling in the sea. After brief scenes of a school trip to a zoo we have tennis scenes from Wimbledon. The film ends with a fete held by cub scouts and children playing in a garden.
