In the garden of a large house a well-dressed crowd sit around tables chatting over tea and sandwiches.

In the garden of the family home at Sedgefield workmen load a lorry with bricks. Wearing only a pair of swimming trunks Angus Forsyth is washed down with a hose held by his younger brother Richard. A party of smartly dressed school children line up against a wall before climbing aboard a bus. The bus drives through a village changing to the children racing down a hillside toward a parked ice cream van. The children each pick an ice cream from a box before going back to running around the field. They then line up and the teachers watch as they do the long jump before having several games of tug-o-war. Richard sitting and playing a piano changes to him running across a street. In the family garden a young woman is sunbathing, she chats with three other women who stand over her. One of the women sits in a deckchair listening to someone off-screen. Two young girls in bathing costumes play badminton on the lawn while Richard in his swimming trunks splashes around in a paddling pool. Everyone sits or stands around a table eating and drinking. More games are played on the lawn, the girl’s badminton the boys cricket. Outside the CB Hotel at Arkengarthdale near Richmond a woman makes her way inside. Three young men and a young woman walk along a sunny country road. The family goes for a walk through the Richmondshire countryside crossing open moorland.
