Description: This film chronicles both family and national events taking place in 1938. The film opens with Christmas cards standing on a fireplace. A man is seen looking at a photograph album with a young lady. They are reflecting on the past year.

As they flick through the album, the film shows the events depicted in the photographs. There is a spring scene of an idyllic village with a church and a horse and cart crossing a ford. A picnic takes place in a field and children fish.

In July, a lady is seen having fun playing with a dog in a garden. The action then switches to a scene where large hills can be seen in the distance. A steamer also sails on a lake.

In August, the hay collected on a large horse drawn wagon is being placed in a stack. Children watch the hay being gathered. There is another picnic and pigs are seen roaming around.

The holidays then arrive. A beach is filmed with a ventriloquist’s dummy performing, girls sunbathing and children playing in the sand.

The scene becomes more sombre in September. There are views of London including Westminster Bridge, Big Ben, Downing Street and the Cenotaph. Soldiers on horseback guard Horse Guards Parade. There are glimpses of newspapers containing the threat of war. People are trying on gas masks.

However, a newspaper proclaims that a peace agreement has been signed and everyone looks happy again.
