Amateur footage of a wealthy family at their large 1930s house and gardens, punting on a lake and playing golf. This film is part of the Newcastle & District Amateur Cinematographers Association (ACA) collection. The film opens with exterior shots of a large 1930s house and back garden. An elderly gentleman walks down a sloped rockery terrace in the garden. Four men and women are playing tennis in the garden. A man and woman are punting on a small lake. A family and friends carrying baskets pick flowers and tend to a garden. A chauffeur holds open the car door for a family going on a drive. He hands them a travel blanket. The car (Registration no. HC 3) drives down the driveway, stopping at a gatehouse. (?)There is repeat footage of the scene. A caddy (or perhaps the chauffeur previously seen) assists a man playing golf in a field in the countryside. He plays a shot and they continue through the field. [A short sequence of Felix the Cat is used as tail leader.]
