Description

Family scenes from the Leach family, the film opens with scenes from Christmas 1968. We see Andrew with his new toys and the family pulling crackers at their Christmas dinner. This is followed by snow scenes. Andrew plays on tricycle in the snow covered garden, accompanied by the dog. There are scenes from what appears to be a playgroup. Children play on slides and swings inside in a classroom like area. There are beach scenes, the children play on the beach and in dinghies. We see views from the window of a moving steam train. The train arrives in Porthmadog and we see the family exploring the area. This is followed by scenes from Conwy, where the family visit the Smallest House and the castle. The family visit an outdoor pool and a zoo and then there are scenes from another family Christmas. The extended family are all in the living room. They open their presents and the children play. Later we see women dancing.
