Description |
A day in the life of baby Velda Anne Lister is humorously recreated here. After breakfast, her mother makes the fire, then feeds and dresses the baby while Mr Lister goes out shopping. Domestic bliss goes awry when a reel of developed film arrives in the post. Neglecting to leave this out of Velda’s reach leads to the baby becoming entangled and having to be cut free. Mrs Lister then has to edit the film scraps back together with unfortunate results. The reel continues with a family trip to Southport for a picnic on the beach and a chance to see a local beauty contest at the Lido. Finally, at home, it is bathtime and bedtime for a happy baby Velda. |
