Overview

This film by Fred James, the amateur film-maker who shot copious footage of his tours of Britain and Europe, features some fine shots of the Botanical Gardens in Cambridge in the company of his wife, Daisy, and Janet Bottomley, a gynaecologist at Addenbrooke’s Hospital. Later, James takes a trip to the village of Eltisley, getting some nice footage, and then heads to Ipswich to film an old friend shooting a rifle.
