A home movie produced by Edwin Davison begins with his family on holiday at Scarborough quickly changing to them staying on their friend’s farm, School House Farm at West Rounton near Northallerton in North Yorkshire. While there they help around the farm including with moving chicken huts from one field to another and working with cattle. The film also features the family take a holiday to Gilsland in Northumberland where the filmmaker walking with his daughter Karen along the banks of the River Itrhing. At Scarborough a man in a smart suit walks slowly along a road passing a crazy-golf attraction. In the harbour a small boat slowly manoeuvrers towards a quayside. A car turns out of a field onto a country road, the driver smiling at the camera as he passes. In a field a small boy attempts to use a scythe to cut the grass growing along a fence-line. He gives up and walks away with the scythe slung across his shoulder, he is followed by the man seen previously also with a scythe across his shoulder and a second man. A farmer leads a bull through a farmgate using a stick attached to ring through the animal’s nose, two small boys watch him. An older man smoking a pipe comes out of a farmhouse. There are free-range chickens in a field nearby. A dog, possibly a Samoyed, runs along a promenade away from a man sitting on a bench changing to two women walking along a suburban towards a small child who is walking towards them. When the meet one of the women bends down and kisses and hugs the child. On a beach the dog seen previously races across the sand and through the surf changing to it being walked on a lead along a road the filmmakers wife Evelyne and Karen. From the cliffs overlooking North Shields the Collingwood Monument and the mouth of the River Tyne in the distance Back on the farm in the field of chickens a man drives up to and attached a hen house to the back of his tractor. He drives away with it followed by some of the chickens. Three children walk up to a second man who walks away carrying a piece of wood, a border collie passes. The children go inside the henhouse watched by the tractor driver who then drives away with the henhouse attached and the children waving from inside. Two small girls wonder through the field of chickens, around the adults and older children working. A man walks past carrying a sack, the tractor drives past. The bull seen earlier now on the edge of a field, his nose ring and chain attached to the ground. A herd of cows in a field. Evelyne drives the tractor carefully through the farmyard past a barn fully of other farming equipment. Having turned around she now drives away through a farmgate and reverses the vehicle into a barn. In garden beside the farmhouse Edwin pushes his daughter on a swing, a small boy wonders through an orchard nearby. In the distance the chicken field seen previously. A man leads part of a herd of cows through a farmgate before closing it. The cows wonder down the muddy lane, some going into a field. A streetlamp with the name of the village ‘Gilsland’ written into the glass changes to Evelyne laying on a grassy bank beside the river Irthing relaxing. Karen comes over and the two play together happily. Edwin walks with his daughter along the riverbank towards a stone bridge. They throw stones in the water before running past and walking along the river's edge. The two of them then come down a hillside towards the river, views of the water flowing along the river Irthing and over rocks. Again, father and daughter walk along the rocky shoreline hand-in-hand, he carries her through part of it. The sun setting or rising through clouds. Karen walks across a lawn. She sits on the back of a go-kart, Edwin at the controls. They both get up after which he pulls her around the lawn on the go-cart. A family group sit on deckchairs in the garden drinking tea, the girl playing with a black Labrador watched over by her father. A diesel engine pulls a passenger train along a railway embankment changes to a steam locomotive pulling another passenger train in the opposite direction past a field of cows. In the distance a second diesel engine pulls another passenger train changing to a pig asleep in the mud. The film ending on it yawning.
