Beach cake! Grandpa, smartly dressed in 3-piece suit with fob watch, is assisted by two women and possibly his grand-daughter to celebrate his birthday at the seaside. A cake, with candles, is provided in a 'Crawford's Biscuits' tin. This family group are also seen visiting both waterfalls and an attractive stone bridge (believed to be in Wales), and the seaside at Bournemouth in Dorset where the weather veers from breezy sunshine to stormy.
