Description

Compilation reel of family leisure and domestic scenes, including young Deirdre dancing with her father to records, and doing sums on a blackboard in the garden with her friends. There are Christmas scenes and fireworks on Bonfire Night; a huge open-air event with children dancing, possibly to celebrate the Coronation, and the reel ends with Pinky the guinea pig and her offspring in the garden.
