Hardman family and friends play in the snow, tobogganing and building snowmen. In summer, they visit the coast, scaling the heights of the Great Orme in Llandudno and Conway Castle, riding along the beach, and feeding pigeons on the sea front. We also visit an open-air swimming pool with them, a school sports-day and a zoo.
