This brief film is part of a collection that records a family from York's trips to the coast and countryside around North Yorkshire. The films were all shot by the Lord Mayor of York's son and are a child's view of these days before World War Two. This film shows the family in their garden in York. A woman, her young son and a toddler play in a playground in the garden. The woman puts the toddler up onto the see-saw and then pushes it up and down. The woman and the boy push the toddler around a garden in a toy car and then the woman brings the toddler on a swing with her. In the next few shots the girl is being pushed around the garden in a toy car; their father is digging in the garden. The girl then plays on a swing while her mother pushes her. Following this is a shot of the woman standing on the front lawn and holding a small baby in her arms. There is another shot of the toddler pushing the toy car around the garden and then a brief shot of the woman picking the toddler up to have a look at the baby in the pram.
