He's a dapper gent, resplendent in tweed jacket and waistcoat. In the back garden. Daisy encourages her mother, Mrs Jordan, to get out of her wooden chair in order to take a walk around the garden. As she attempts to descend the steps, Mrs Jordan stumbles but fortunately Daisy is on hand to catch her. The ladies admire daffodils planted around the garden. Daisy's father, Mr Jordan joins them. Next, he's seen smoking a cigar whilst cutting bushes. Fred emerges from a shed, carrying an orange deckchair.
