Description

The film opens with a group shot of the Pickford family in the garden and then we see various activities in the garden. The children play and the grandfather is at work planting and watering. There are then scenes from the elderly couple's sitting room. The grandmother stokes the fire and then uses a ewbank, the grandfather has to raise his legs while she does all round him in his chair. We also see them washing up and then finally sitting on deckchairs in a yard. The films ends with shots of flowers on a grave.
