Part of the Cooper Collection, this film features a variety of footage taken during the course of a year including snow scenes at the family home, a rugby match, and a day out in Scarborough.  The film opens with a man in the garden who is using a rake to tend to his flower beds.  A boy is playing with a football in the narrow neighbourhood street.  He kicks the ball against a fence and plays “keepie uppie.”  The boy accidently kicks the football over the fence and into the man’s garden.  Angered by this, the man scolds the boy and throws the ball back, hitting the boy in the face.  Later, a man and woman are in the garden, and the man is smoking a pipe.  There are shots of the flowers.
