A home movie produced by Ken Ellwood which features his granddaughter Emily who is the eldest child of their daughter Deborah and husband Christopher Oates. Emily is filmed over a number of years from newborn baby to toddler both at her parent’s home in the village of Newby Wiske in North Yorkshire or staying with Ken and wife Kath at their home on Tarn Moor Crescent in Skipton. A vintage Riley motorcar (Reg: LXD 582) comes down the driveway of a house in the village of Newby Wiske turning onto the main road. A large garden with trees growing on the lawn changes to a steam or river with cows in a nearby field. A Volo car is parked on a road beside a row of terraced houses, the Riley turns back in the driveway of the house seen previously. Christopher Oates gets out of the car and opens the passenger side door of his wife Deborah Oates, formerly Ellwood. She climbs out carrying her newborn daughter Emily. Deborah comes out of the house pushing a pram with her daughter in it. She walms with her parents Ken and Kath Ellwood around the village pushing the pram. The child now a few months old is again pushed around the village by Kath Ellwood, she stands chatting with a group of cyclists who ride past and wave at her and the baby as they pass. Kath continues her walk through the village pushing the pram. Back home she carried Emily into the back garden where they play together along with Deborah. Emily is placed on the lawn with Deborah and Kath sitting next to her. She picks flowers and plays with a pair of glasses. Ken Ellwood stands in the doorway of a house holding his granddaughter before placing her in the pram and once again Kath goes for a walk along a country road, the child falls asleep. Kath pushes the pram along a country road stopping the show her granddaughter horses in a field. On Tarn Moor Crescent in Skipton Deborah carries a tray of plants from the back of a car placing it on a wall of her parents’ home. Kath takes her granddaughter from the car as Deborah unpacks other bags from the boot of the car. Emily is given a small pram and with Kath watching over her pushes it into the back garden. The three of them wonder around the garden with Emily smelling some of the flowers growing there. They come out of the front of the house and look at some of the flowers and plants growing in the front garden. Standing on the garden wall Emily waves goodbye to her mother as she drives away, Kath standing next to her also waving. Emily taking a bath watched over by Kath, they play together happily. Afterward Kath dries her granddaughter with a towel and helps her into pyjamas for bed. She plays for a short while before being put into her cot. The film changes to Kath gives her granddaughter another bath and as she is being changed into her pyjamas chats with a young man sitting nearby. After bouncing around for a moment Emily sits in Kath’s lap as she is read a bedtime story after which she is put to bed again. Emily sits eating a boiled egg from a tray changes to her going for a walk with Kath through the countryside. They cross a bridge and feeds at some ducks on the other side. Back at her grand parents’ home Emily is helped by Kath up a set of stone steps in the back garden. Again, they wonder around the garden a pick some not yet opened daffodils. Emily and Kath come out of the front of the house and play with Emily’s dolls on the front steps. Emily walks one of the dolls to her mother’s waiting car. The vintage Riley motorcar once again turns into the driveway of the house at Newby Wiske. Christopher Oates opens the passenger door for his wife Deborah who climbs out holding another child, a son George. She and the baby head inside.
