This is a film made by an amateur filmmaker from Sheffield, Jean Gray, of her family on days out in Derbyshire, featuring his son and daughter, Peter and Julie, and some friends playing.
The film begins with the arrival of an elderly couple bringing a newborn baby, shown to a small boy, possibly Peter. Several months on and the baby is sitting in a small horse chair in the garden. The family go down by a river in the grounds of Chatsworth House, seen in the distance. Back in the garden father does some gardening while the children play and a woman brings out tea. The baby is now walking in the garden. Peter, Julie, father and two other children run through some woods. They climb a tree. Again they are back in the garden relaxing, with the smallest child pulling a wooden barrow. An elderly woman in a deckchair strokes a black and white cat on her lap. Out in the countryside, father makes a little turf house for Julie and Peter to use to play with their soldiers. They also play on some logs with their friend.
There is a banner for Tideswell Welldressing Carnival. They go around the village looking at the well dressings, before sitting in a field, where the baby (now younger) gets fed from a bottle. Julie and her friend roll down a grassy bank and several children swing on a gate. They are playing on the edge of a caravan field, with Peter with a bow and arrow and the three boys swinging on the branch of a tree. Lots of children are playing down by the river. They walk around the grounds of Chatsworth House before returning to the river and then on to a village cricket game. They visit someone where they do some rifle shooting and have lunch in the garden. Then they are out in dales before returning to their new car (green colour) as the film ends.
