Description

Titled 'High Spots of 1937' this begins with Harold Cooke rewinding and inspecting a reel of film followed by the family in the garden cutting flowers and drinking tea. Children swimming at an outdoor swimming pool and a phantom ride in the family car on the Sefton to Aintree road. A woman throwing darts in the garden with the last one landing in a teddy bear in a baby's pram! In a dream sequence and using trick photography a man performs various magic tricks followed by a couple walking a dog. Titled 'Autumn 1939' we see a couple of girls shaking a conker tree and the leaves turning colour. Next 'Easter 1944' the twins Carol and Ann Cooke in a pram then in the garden with the grandparents. 'Easter 1945' the twin girls with their parents and baby Stan in the pram.
