The film begins with shots of a woman with dogs in the back garden of a house on Chester Road in Kidderminster. There are also exterior views of the house and a view of the road outside with traffic passing. We then cut to a view of the River Severn at Bewdley showing Beales Corner from the opposite bank, Load Street, Styles Mill and the road bridge over the river. We return to the family home at Kidderminster this time showing interior views of the living room. The reel continues with views of a picnic with the woman and dog seen earlier sitting alongside a Vauxhall estate in a layby. The next section shows snow scenes outside a house at Ribbesford near Bewdley and shots of the woman walking her dogs along a snow covered lane following by further views of the garden of the Chester Road house in snow. The final section shows scenes from a holiday to Tenerife including views of mountains, a car journey and a harbour.
