Viewing Notes:

"Beginning with a view of the Suffolk beach, shots follow of Mrs Hudson and her son as they pose for the camera, standing outside in front of the tent awning, then seated inside, followed by a demonstration of their holiday accommodation - lying on bunks inside a motorhome. The two then pose, seated at a table featuring a picnic display. A shot of Mrs Hudson and her son inside the awning then reveals their location is in the grounds close to the parish church and ruins in the village of Covehithe. Shots of the Church of St Andrew are followed by scenes at the neighbouring Covehithe Church Farm; shots of the cottage and farmyard activity. In particular of a woman appearing on horseback in the yard, then younger boys riding the horse, and sitting on a cart and horse, followed by attempts to balance a dog on a horse’s back. Footage continues with shots of various pets on the farm, including of ferrets, cats and kittens, and different species of farm birds" (EAFA Database).
