Made by Otley based film maker and photographer, Edward Winpenny, this film follows `Carol' through her first couple of years from christening day to walking in the garden. There is also footage of her parents and some other children. The film opens with a brief shot of a waterfall and then cuts to footage of a christening. Men and women are gathered outside a building; an older woman has a baby wrapped in a blanket in her arms. She smiles at the camera and shows the baby off; another older woman holds the baby after her. Two younger women, one of them possibly the baby's mother, holds the baby and then the nanny holds the baby up for the camera to see. There is a brief shot of a young couple holding the baby. In the next scene the mother has Carol, the baby, on her lap; she is several months older. The mother turns the baby over onto her stomach and starts unbuttoning her vest. The baby kicks her legs and moves about as her mother takes off her vest and sits her back up on her knee; she puts another vest on the baby. The following shots are taken of another young girl about a year old who is in the garden learning to walk; she walks between two people and then walks unsteadily along the grass holding her doll. Then there are shots of a group of four children of roughly the same age in a garden with some women, they are all learning to walk and trot around looking at the camera and playing with each other. Carol is on a bed crawling and then there is another shot of her on a blanket crawling towards a string of beads which an unseen person is holding out to her. She reaches them and puts them into her mouth and grins at the camera. Two young girls sit beside each other on a swing in a garden; a woman is standing behind pushing them. In the background are men, women and children of all ages; they are lying on the grass and sitting on chairs while the children run around and play. There are brief shots of a young, blonde girl, a man who is holding something up for the camera, and a couple of children who are on the swing together. The children are all standing beside a small pond smiling at the camera, then is a brief shot of a man helping some of them up onto a hay stack. Two toddlers are crawling along the floor; one of them reaches a box on the floor, picks it up and then casts it aside. Two women are outside in the sunshine; one of them is sitting in a deck chair with Carol on her knee. The other woman is sitting on the grass beside the chair occasionally playing with Carol who is clapping her hands and rubbing her eyes. The next scene is another few months later and in a dining room; Carol is sitting on a chair playing. She stands up and sits down and smiles at an unseen person. Then she is on the floor crawling over a footstool and along the dining room floor. She crawls towards something that is on the floor and she puts it into her mouth. She crawls over to an arm chair and pulls herself up to standing position and starts to take things out of a basket that is sitting on the seat of the arm chair. The next shots are of Carol in the garden walking; she is wrapped up in warm clothes and walks unsteadily along the grass. She falls over a couple of times but gets up smiling. The final shot is of Carol being pushed on a swing by her mother.
