July 1959: the weather is perfect for a holiday on Caldey, an island off Tenby basking in the Pembrokeshire sunshine. The Wrights, from Bristol, roast sausages on sticks over a fire on the beach, admire the blooming heather and take a ride in an amphibious vehicle (for low tide crossings). The children all enjoy the outdoor life – Sally, Juliet, young Nicholas (who gets to drive a boat) and capable older cousin Ruth – as does Mum Brenda and Dad Philip who is busy with the camera.
