Summary: Reel 7 - Domestic garden and wedding
Title number: 20059
LSA ID: LSA/26503
Description: We see an older gentleman in a suburban garden doing general jobs such as pruning , chopping wood, clearing up etc...
We see a close-up of a baby in a pram; someone appears to be rattling some keys to get its attention. We then see the baby in a woman's (mother?) arms in a back garden. The woman is smiling as is the baby.
Next we see a street with a boy and man in suits wearing carnations for a wedding. We see people milling about the entrance to church; the women are wearing hats and it is quite windy. We see people walking and approaching the church entrance; the women are holding on to their hats due to the wind.
Next, the happy couple are seen outside the church, well-wishers and relatives look on. The bride is seen with a bridesmaid and we then see a 'happy' man laughing to the camera. There more shots of the friends and relatives outside the church.
Next we see a large family of people, both young and old, playing cricket in a park. This is followed by people sitting down and having a picnic, various members are taking photos. We see the baby in a pram blowing bubbles and smiling at the camera.
The next shot is of school children next to a railway station; it is not obvious what they are doing.
We then see the baby, in a back garden, sitting up and beginning to crawl. She(?) is playing with a plastic football. A young boy looks over the neighbour's fence. She is then seen interacting with her grandfather(?) who then feeds her with a spoon. The baby is then seen indoors standing at a low table with her mother(?) looking on.
The next shot is of the baby sitting on her fathers's neck while the rest of the family look on. They appear to be in the country and we see them looking at a horse in a field. The family look on as the horse chews grass.
Next is a view of a flag at the prow of a ship which is named 'Empress of Canada'
which is moored at a quayside. We see the family waving to the baby and it's parents as they look on from on board the ship. The boat is seen to move off with passengers waving from on board.
There is a 10 second gap followed by a title card that says 'Brenda's Short Stay- Wayne & Jeannette'. We see a front door(No.44) with a woman in a red hat and coat walking out followed by a mother and baby.
