-Every picture tells a story.

-What's the story behind these?

0:00:020:00:07

-Will it be possible to reunite

-the group to retake the photo?

0:00:070:00:11

-This week, the dancers

-from Ysgol Tynygongl in 1969.

0:00:150:00:19

-Where did they all go?

-At her home in Llangefni...

0:00:430:00:45

-..Eirian Watcyn Jones has just come

-home from an unforgettable holiday.

0:00:450:00:51

-We got it into our heads...

0:00:510:00:53

-..to go to Norway,

-to the top of Europe.

0:00:540:00:57

-It was fantastic.

0:00:580:01:00

-The light was entirely different.

0:01:000:01:03

-You felt you were in a vast place.

0:01:030:01:06

-Acre upon acre of nothing but snow.

0:01:070:01:10

-Eirian is celebrating life.

0:01:110:01:13

-For her, life became increasingly

-precious in recent months.

0:01:130:01:18

-Five and a half years ago, I didn't

-think I'd reach my 50th birthday.

0:01:180:01:22

-It will be the perfect time

-to celebrate that birthday soon...

0:01:220:01:27

-..and celebrate the fact that I've

-been given the all clear...

0:01:270:01:31

-..after having breast cancer.

0:01:320:01:34

-The trip gave her a chance

-to celebrate the future.

0:01:360:01:40

-But it also made her

-appreciate the past.

0:01:400:01:44

-So much has happened recently.

0:01:440:01:47

-One does reminisce. It's

-the happy memories that come back.

0:01:470:01:52

-From that past, one photo

-is very close to her heart.

0:01:530:01:57

-I found the photo in one

-of my moments of reminiscing.

0:01:580:02:03

-It's a photo of about 14 of us...

0:02:040:02:06

-..after we'd performed the Floral

-Dance at Eisteddfod Mon.

0:02:060:02:10

-We all seem so happy,

-and so free of care.

0:02:110:02:14

-One of Eirian's best friends

-is in the photo.

0:02:170:02:21

-Hello, flower. Come in.

0:02:210:02:23

-Hello, flower. Come in.

-

-Hello.

0:02:230:02:24

-How did the trip go?

0:02:250:02:27

-This is Elin,

-an intensive care nurse...

0:02:280:02:31

-..and a good friend to Eirian since

-the early years at Ysgol Tynygongl.

0:02:310:02:35

-She's very strong.

0:02:360:02:37

-If I need something,

-or if I feel down, I phone Eirian.

0:02:380:02:42

-We've become close

-since she fell ill.

0:02:430:02:47

-In 2003,

-Eirian found a lump in her breast.

0:02:490:02:53

-She was told she had cancer.

0:02:530:02:55

-I couldn't believe it.

0:02:560:02:58

-Mike and I sat there, both crying.

0:02:590:03:01

-We immediately thought of the girls.

0:03:030:03:05

-We wanted to be there

-to see them grow up...

0:03:050:03:09

-..settle down and have children.

0:03:090:03:12

-I wanted to be a grandmother.

-I wasn't prepared, I was only 44.

0:03:120:03:16

-I had a 6-month course of chemo.

0:03:190:03:21

-I went to Bangor.

0:03:210:03:23

-I didn't have a mother to come

-with me so my mother-in-law came.

0:03:240:03:28

-I remember her holding my hand when

-I was crying which was very often.

0:03:290:03:34

-I lost my hair.

0:03:340:03:37

-But that was the least

-of my worries, to be honest.

0:03:370:03:42

-Because I'd made the decision

-to remove both breasts...

0:03:460:03:51

-..I was given the all clear.

0:03:510:03:54

-I probably...

0:03:560:03:57

-..I will never

-get breast cancer again.

0:03:580:04:02

-Hearing that felt like receiving

-a gift of millions of pounds.

0:04:030:04:07

-Do you remember me

-giving you this as a gift?

0:04:100:04:15

-Yes, when I was 40.

0:04:150:04:17

-Yes, when I was 40.

-

-I put it in a frame for you.

0:04:170:04:19

-Do you remember us doing it?

0:04:200:04:20

-Do you remember us doing it?

-

-Yes, I remember doing the dance.

0:04:200:04:22

-Me too.

0:04:230:04:24

-I remember quite a large group,

-14 of us in the photo.

0:04:240:04:28

-It was taken at the Treetops Hotel.

-It's a rugby club now.

0:04:290:04:33

-It used to be just a field.

-My sister Anwen was there too.

0:04:340:04:37

-I haven't seen them for years.

-I've no idea where they are.

0:04:380:04:42

-Which ones do you remember?

0:04:430:04:45

-Stephen, Jenny.

0:04:450:04:47

-I remember Pat.

0:04:480:04:49

-I remember

-the busy run up to the Eisteddfod...

0:04:500:04:53

-..and practising on the schoolyard.

0:04:530:04:56

-We all lived near each other

-and went to Ysgol Tynygongl.

0:04:560:05:00

-It'll be quite a task.

0:05:000:05:02

-I haven't seen anyone...

0:05:020:05:04

-..except for you, your sister

-and Lynda since school days.

0:05:040:05:09

-Neither have I.

0:05:090:05:10

-So are you willing to help?

0:05:100:05:11

-So are you willing to help?

-

-Of course.

0:05:110:05:12

-Great.

0:05:120:05:13

-So Eirian, with Elin's help...

0:05:140:05:16

-..is going to reunite

-the Tynygongl Floral Dance group.

0:05:160:05:20

-Mr Dewi Jones has always

-been a kind, friendly man.

0:05:200:05:25

-We all thought the world of him.

0:05:260:05:28

-Hello.

0:05:280:05:28

-Hello.

-

-Hello. How are you?

0:05:280:05:30

-How are you?

0:05:310:05:32

-One man might remember

-better than most...

0:05:320:05:35

-..the school's former headmaster.

0:05:360:05:38

-Could you help me?

-Do you remember this photo?

0:05:380:05:42

-Yes, I think so.

0:05:420:05:44

-That year, 1968-1969...

0:05:440:05:47

-..I became headmaster

-of Ysgol Tynygongl, my old school.

0:05:490:05:53

-I was the first to be

-accepted by the former Head.

0:05:530:05:58

-But does he know where Ysgol

-Tynygongl's former pupils are now?

0:05:590:06:03

-I haven't heard anything

-about Karen.

0:06:040:06:07

-I heard that Jayne

-stayed on Anglesey.

0:06:070:06:12

-Who'd have thought?!

-I heard she lived on a farm.

0:06:120:06:16

-Where?

0:06:160:06:17

-The Llanddaniel and Gaerwen area.

0:06:180:06:19

-The Llanddaniel and Gaerwen area.

-

-Really?

0:06:190:06:20

-While Mr Jones helps Eirian

-to find a few...

0:06:210:06:25

-..Elin is on the trail

-of other former dancers.

0:06:250:06:29

-Do you remember the Floral Dance?

0:06:290:06:32

-Elin doesn't have

-far to go to find one.

0:06:330:06:36

-Her sister was in the group too.

0:06:360:06:38

-I found this photo.

0:06:380:06:40

-This is Anwen.

0:06:400:06:42

-She still lives on the island

-and has two children.

0:06:420:06:47

-I was about 7 or 8 years old.

0:06:480:06:50

-It's quite a few years ago!

0:06:520:06:54

-LAUGHTER

0:06:550:06:57

-Fiona was younger than me, I'm sure.

0:06:590:07:01

-I remember Fiona

-who stood on the end.

0:07:010:07:04

-She lived at the end of our terrace.

0:07:040:07:08

-Her mother used to cut our hair.

0:07:080:07:11

-I don't remember much

-about the Floral Dance itself.

0:07:110:07:16

-But I have a vague memory of having

-to wear an ugly skirt and blouse.

0:07:160:07:21

-I remember dancing

-and being very nervous.

0:07:210:07:25

-I received a letter afterwards...

0:07:260:07:29

-..from the winner of the Eisteddfod

-chair, thanking us for the dance.

0:07:300:07:34

-It was a very special dance

-for me too...

0:07:350:07:38

-..because I'd won the Chair.

0:07:380:07:40

-I shall remember it for ever.

0:07:400:07:42

-It would be interesting

-to see everyone.

0:07:450:07:47

-Maybe I've passed them

-on the street...

0:07:480:07:50

-..not realizing they were with me

-in the photo of the Floral Dance.

0:07:500:07:55

-I'm curious

-to see how they all look now.

0:07:550:07:57

-So Anwen will take

-her place in the photo.

0:07:590:08:01

-After overcoming illness,

-Eirian sees the past in a new light.

0:08:030:08:08

-I found the photo and thought...

0:08:080:08:10

-.."Those were the happy,

-sunny days of childhood.

0:08:110:08:15

-"Weren't we lucky?"

0:08:150:08:17

-One has more and more thoughts like

-that after getting a second chance.

0:08:180:08:22

-After going through a divorce,

-Eirian returned to Anglesey.

0:08:220:08:26

-Now remarried,

-with a future full of hope...

0:08:270:08:30

-..school days in Tynygongl

-increasingly mean more.

0:08:300:08:33

-I haven't been back here until now.

0:08:340:08:36

-So many memories...

0:08:370:08:38

-GASPS

0:08:400:08:42

-This is the yard where we played.

0:08:420:08:44

-Good heavens!

0:08:450:08:46

-VOICE FALTERS

0:08:520:08:53

-I didn't expect this.

0:08:540:08:56

-The shed is still there.

0:08:570:08:59

-We would sit there in the sun.

0:09:000:09:02

-We learned the Floral Dance

-here in the yard.

0:09:020:09:06

-Thanks to the Headmaster....

0:09:150:09:17

-..Eirian is about to meet

-one of her former classmates...

0:09:180:09:21

-..for the first time in 40 years.

0:09:220:09:24

-I'm on my way to see Jayne Baron.

0:09:240:09:28

-I've been told she lives here.

0:09:300:09:32

-I hope I recognize her

-and she recognizes me!

0:09:320:09:36

-I'm very nervous.

0:09:360:09:38

-CATTLE LOW

0:09:430:09:44

-CATTLE LOW

-

-Hello!

0:09:440:09:45

-EIRIAN LAUGHS

0:09:450:09:47

-Hi.

0:09:490:09:50

-Hi.

-

-Hiya.

0:09:500:09:51

-It's so nice to see you. Jayne!

0:09:540:09:56

-It's so nice to see you. Jayne!

-

-Yes.

0:09:560:09:57

-This is Jayne,

-who farms in Gaerwen now.

0:09:570:10:01

-Do you remember doing the dance?

0:10:010:10:02

-Do you remember doing the dance?

-

-Yes, sort of.

0:10:020:10:03

-I remember more after,

-and the practising.

0:10:040:10:06

-Do you remember anything?

0:10:060:10:07

-Do you remember anything?

-

-I remember doing the practising...

0:10:070:10:09

-..I think, in the playground.

0:10:100:10:10

-..I think, in the playground.

-

-With Mrs Hopkin.

0:10:100:10:11

-And I remember a bit about being

-very nervous and doing the dance.

0:10:120:10:16

-Yes.

0:10:160:10:17

-We've got this reunion,

-hopefully, soon.

0:10:170:10:20

-OK.

0:10:210:10:22

-OK.

-

-With this picture.

0:10:220:10:23

-It would be fantastic if

-you could come, it really would.

0:10:230:10:26

-I'd love to.

0:10:260:10:28

-I'd love to.

-

-And get everybody together again.

0:10:280:10:30

-The farmer is on her way!

0:10:300:10:32

-But the search continues

-for the other dancers.

0:10:320:10:35

-The MacGuinesses were

-a large family from Yorkshire.

0:10:350:10:40

-The MacGuinesses lived here

-but I've no idea in which house.

0:10:410:10:44

-If I can find a door!

0:10:450:10:47

-There's no-one at home

-in any of the houses.

0:10:520:10:55

-We'll try another way

-of finding Ann MacGuiness.

0:10:560:11:00

-Will she have more luck online?

0:11:000:11:02

-But, living more than

-200 miles away from Tynygongl...

0:11:050:11:09

-..Eirian has found

-one former dancer.

0:11:100:11:13

-This one can sing too.

0:11:130:11:15

-I did quite a lot of work in Wales.

0:11:150:11:17

-I wasn't as famous as people

-like Caryl, but I was very lucky.

0:11:170:11:21

-I sailed around the world

-on the Canberra...

0:11:210:11:24

-..I worked in London,

-Dubai and Norway.

0:11:240:11:27

-# What must I do to get

-the response I need from you #

0:11:270:11:32

-I've done a lot, I've travelled.

0:11:330:11:35

-I've been on the box a lot

-in Wales and on the radio.

0:11:360:11:39

-I've been very lucky.

0:11:400:11:42

-Soon after the photo was taken...

0:11:440:11:47

-..Fiona Bennett moved

-from Anglesey to Cardiff.

0:11:470:11:50

-She runs a music agency in Newbury,

-Berkshire.

0:11:500:11:53

-LAUGHS

0:11:540:11:56

-Forty years ago. Oh, god!

0:11:580:12:01

-This is so funny! It looks so old.

0:12:030:12:05

-It looks like something

-on Sunday afternoon TV!

0:12:060:12:11

-I remember folk dancing

-but I don't remember that occasion.

0:12:120:12:16

-What strikes me is that I look

-like Zachary in a frock!

0:12:160:12:21

-We look so alike.

0:12:210:12:23

-Fiona has two sons

-who attend Cheam School.

0:12:240:12:28

-Zachary has - I wouldn't

-say that he suffers...

0:12:290:12:32

-..an Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

0:12:330:12:35

-He has an Autistic

-Spectrum Disorder.

0:12:360:12:38

-OK!

0:12:380:12:39

-I remember the moment

-when I asked the question...

0:12:390:12:43

-.."Are we talking about ASD,

-Autistic Spectrum Disorder?"

0:12:430:12:46

-Everyone just looked at me

-and went like this.

0:12:470:12:49

-I felt like crying.

-I feel like crying now.

0:12:500:12:52

-He's seven now.

0:12:530:12:55

-I've learnt a lot, I've been on

-courses to learn about language...

0:12:560:13:00

-..and the way to talk to him.

0:13:000:13:02

-Fiona's writing a book

-about coping with Zachary's autism.

0:13:020:13:07

-IN WELSH

-

-One, two, three!

0:13:070:13:09

-Wow!

0:13:110:13:12

-Mam and Dad

-still live in Benllech...

0:13:130:13:16

-..which is great

-for me and the boys.

0:13:170:13:19

-It's like a different

-world up there.

0:13:200:13:23

-It would be very interesting to see

-if everyone stayed in Wales...

0:13:230:13:27

-..or moved to England or Hong Kong.

0:13:270:13:29

-Great, I'm looking forward.

0:13:290:13:31

-So Fiona will get a chance

-to see where everyone went.

0:13:320:13:35

-But there are still more to find.

0:13:350:13:37

-Who is this on a beach

-the other side of the world?

0:13:370:13:40

-Who is the hidden musician?

0:13:410:13:43

-Will there be dancing

-again this year?

0:13:450:13:48

-Eirian and her best friend Elin

-are looking for other friends...

0:14:020:14:06

-..who took part in the Floral Dance

-at Eisteddfod Mon 40 years ago.

0:14:060:14:11

-A few have been found.

0:14:110:14:13

-But there's more to do to reunite

-everyone to take the photo again.

0:14:130:14:17

-I wouldn't say that

-I live in the past at all.

0:14:180:14:22

-But maybe one does

-reminisce a little more...

0:14:230:14:27

-..after receiving such good news.

0:14:270:14:30

-After six years of treatment

-for breast cancer...

0:14:310:14:34

-..Eirian is in good health.

0:14:340:14:36

-She's thinking about the future,

-and seeing old friends.

0:14:360:14:40

-One of the girls in the photo

-has answered Eirian's email.

0:14:420:14:45

-She lives on the other

-side of the world.

0:14:460:14:48

-I'm Ann MacGuiness.

-Croeso i Seland Newydd.

0:14:480:14:52

-I think I was very fortunate

-growing up in Wales.

0:14:530:14:56

-It was a lovely, safe environment

-with beaches, woods...

0:14:560:15:00

-..and stone circles to explore.

0:15:000:15:02

-It's the place I grew up -

-the foundation of who I am today.

0:15:020:15:05

-Ann works as a Pharmacist

-in Balmoral, Auckland.

0:15:050:15:09

-She has a childhood memory

-of dancing that day.

0:15:100:15:12

-I do remember taking part

-in the Flower Dance.

0:15:130:15:16

-I always knew

-it was part of an eisteddfod.

0:15:160:15:18

-But I always thought

-that we were competing.

0:15:180:15:21

-I do recognize a few

-of the faces in the photograph.

0:15:220:15:25

-One is Stephen Greenwood.

0:15:250:15:27

-He was the first vegetarian

-I ever came across.

0:15:270:15:30

-I always thought he was quite exotic

-because he ate lots of nuts.

0:15:310:15:35

-I think it will be quite

-interesting to see the group again.

0:15:350:15:38

-People do change...

0:15:390:15:40

-..and I haven't seen them since

-they were "dipyn bach"!

0:15:400:15:43

-While Ann is on the plane

-back to Wales...

0:15:450:15:47

-I'm looking for Heather Richardson.

0:15:480:15:50

-..Eirian and Elin's search continues

-back home.

0:15:500:15:53

-Thank you, anyway.

0:15:530:15:54

-No luck with Robert or Heather.

0:15:560:15:58

-But Elin gets a welcome from

-another member of the Floral Dance.

0:15:580:16:02

-Hello.

0:16:020:16:03

-Here is another close friend, Lynda,

-who still lives in Tynygongl.

0:16:040:16:08

-My husband Bryn and I run

-a company of funeral directors.

0:16:090:16:15

-The children work

-in the family business with us.

0:16:160:16:21

-I want to try and retake

-this photo. Are you up for it?

0:16:220:16:26

-Yes, but I don't know - if I crouch

-down, will I be able to get back up?

0:16:260:16:30

-LAUGHTER

0:16:310:16:33

-I remember practising

-and tripping over a chair in class!

0:16:330:16:37

-Apart from that,

-the costume is all I remember.

0:16:380:16:42

-The skirt was blue

-and the blouse white.

0:16:430:16:47

-Why was Stephen Greenwood there?

-He wasn't in the Floral Dance.

0:16:480:16:52

-I'm not at all sure.

0:16:530:16:55

-Very happy memories.

0:16:550:16:57

-It didn't feel like school,

-it was more like a family.

0:16:580:17:02

-He was a thingummy, a vegetarian.

0:17:020:17:04

-Yes.

0:17:040:17:05

-He was the first vegetarian I met.

0:17:060:17:07

-He was the first vegetarian I met.

-

-Really?

0:17:070:17:08

-I was born here.

0:17:080:17:10

-I don't think people locked

-their back doors at night.

0:17:100:17:14

-Everyone knew each other.

0:17:140:17:16

-Even if we weren't related, we'd

-still call them Auntie or Uncle.

0:17:160:17:21

-No, I'll never move away.

0:17:210:17:23

-They can't all come...

0:17:250:17:26

-..but Lynda will be there

-to retake the photo.

0:17:260:17:29

-After all Eirian and Elin's work...

0:17:320:17:35

-..the search for the 1969 Floral

-Dance group is almost complete.

0:17:350:17:39

-The big day is here.

0:17:390:17:41

-I'm very excited,

-I can't wait to see who will come.

0:17:420:17:45

-Hello!

0:17:460:17:47

-The two sisters have returned

-to Tynygongl.

0:17:490:17:52

-Great, it's happening at last!

0:17:520:17:54

-It's a chance for Lynda

-to see Eirian once more.

0:17:560:18:00

-Lynda Jane!

0:18:010:18:02

-How are you?

0:18:040:18:06

-I haven't seen you for a few years.

0:18:060:18:08

-Three years? Something like that,

-when I was in hospital.

0:18:080:18:13

-But none of them have seen

-this girl for decades.

0:18:130:18:18

-Who's this?

0:18:180:18:19

-Who's this?

-

-Hello!

0:18:190:18:20

-Fiona!

0:18:210:18:22

-I thought you were bigger!

0:18:250:18:27

-ALL LAUGH

0:18:280:18:29

-ALL LAUGH

-

-I am, here! But not in height.

0:18:290:18:31

-You look so like your mother.

0:18:310:18:33

-You look so like your mother.

-

-Anwen!

0:18:330:18:34

-It's amazing, how much

-you are unaware that you remember.

0:18:350:18:38

-But someone says something,

-and you're reminded!

0:18:390:18:41

-Does Jayne still remember

-the faces from the past?

0:18:420:18:45

-Hello! Do you remember anybody?

0:18:450:18:47

-Hello! Do you remember anybody?

-

-No, I don't!

0:18:470:18:48

-Lynda? I do now!

0:18:490:18:51

-Everything is starting

-to fall into place.

0:18:530:18:56

-And here's the vegetarian.

-Everyone seems to remember him.

0:18:580:19:02

-He's just the same!

0:19:030:19:05

-It's nice to have a bloke here!

0:19:050:19:07

-This is Stephen Greenwood.

0:19:080:19:10

-Being in a rural, farming area,

-with lots of cattle...

0:19:110:19:14

-..very much a culture

-of eating meat...

0:19:140:19:17

-..we were seen as pretty strange.

0:19:180:19:20

-And that's, I would imagine,

-the reason why...

0:19:200:19:23

-..we'd probably be remembered.

0:19:230:19:26

-This musician is a piano tuner...

0:19:260:19:29

-..and a father, living in Cambridge.

0:19:290:19:32

-I didn't plan to live in Cambridge

-until I was 50 years old.

0:19:320:19:36

-I just came here

-to study music and ended up...

0:19:360:19:40

-..sort of staying here really.

0:19:400:19:42

-What are his childhood memories

-of Anglesey?

0:19:420:19:45

-We lived in this beautiful

-farmhouse near Benllech.

0:19:460:19:50

-I remember specific incidents

-and the feeling of being there.

0:19:510:19:55

-I remember the walk to school

-and the walk home.

0:19:550:19:57

-I remember Dewi Jones quite a lot.

0:19:580:20:00

-He was such a good teacher,

-I remember him reading us stories.

0:20:000:20:04

-I'd like to go back to that school.

0:20:050:20:07

-But mostly to see the people.

0:20:070:20:09

-IN WELSH

0:20:100:20:10

-IN WELSH

-

-Yes, I am looking forward, a lot.

0:20:100:20:12

-Lynda?

0:20:170:20:19

-Forty years have passed

-since the group last met.

0:20:210:20:26

-Someone else has returned

-to Tynygongl's rugby field.

0:20:260:20:30

-Ann MacGuiness!

0:20:300:20:32

-Ann has travelled thousands

-of miles to be here today.

0:20:320:20:35

-Goodness me, you've come from far!

0:20:360:20:36

-Goodness me, you've come from far!

-

-I have, yes.

0:20:360:20:38

-From where?

0:20:380:20:39

-From where?

-

-New Zealand.

0:20:390:20:40

-No! Especially for the reunion?

0:20:420:20:44

-No! Especially for the reunion?

-

-I can't believe you've come so far!

0:20:440:20:46

-That's fantastic!

0:20:460:20:48

-I'm delighted, particularly

-as people have come such a long way.

0:20:480:20:52

-I understand that

-some people can't come...

0:20:520:20:55

-..but I'm so glad that these have.

0:20:560:20:58

-There's another surprise for the

-crew - here's their former Head.

0:20:580:21:02

-Mr Jones!

-We'd better stand up straight!

0:21:020:21:06

-Shall we form a line?

0:21:070:21:09

-Good afternoon, nice to see you.

0:21:130:21:15

-After such a long time.

0:21:150:21:16

-After such a long time.

-

-Indeed!

0:21:160:21:17

-Do you still sing?

0:21:170:21:19

-Oh! You know that I sing.

0:21:190:21:21

-There's one more surprise.

0:21:250:21:27

-I want you to come with me.

-Come along, everyone!

0:21:270:21:30

-Oh...

0:21:310:21:31

-Oh...

-

-It's like being back in school!

0:21:310:21:33

-What did he say?

0:21:330:21:34

-What did he say?

-

-Go with him!

0:21:340:21:36

-ALL EXCLAIM

0:21:360:21:38

-HARP MUSIC

0:21:380:21:39

-Forty years after

-performing the Floral Dance...

0:21:400:21:43

-..the group are going

-to relive the past.

0:21:440:21:47

-Here are some

-of this year's Floral Dancers.

0:21:490:21:53

-Seeing the children dance

-was totally unexpected.

0:21:530:21:57

-It was wonderful.

0:21:580:22:00

-As we watched them dance,

-I remembered doing it.

0:22:000:22:04

-That was the icing on the cake.

0:22:080:22:10

-Lovely.

0:22:100:22:11

-Watching that,

-there was bits of it...

0:22:170:22:20

-..I don't know

-if it's the same dance as we did...

0:22:200:22:23

-..but there was little bits of it

-that I remembered.

0:22:230:22:26

-Excellent!

0:22:310:22:33

-As today's Floral Dancers

-leave the field...

0:22:350:22:39

-..it's the conclusion

-of an emotional journey for Eirian.

0:22:390:22:43

-Thank you very much, Mr Jones.

0:22:480:22:49

-Thank you very much, Mr Jones.

-

-Give my regards to everyone.

0:22:490:22:50

-There's only one more thing to do.

-It's time to retake the photo.

0:22:520:22:56

-Let's go, it's this corner, I think.

0:22:560:22:59

-That's the house in the photo,

-although it's changed slightly.

0:22:590:23:04

-Fiona here. Someone

-should be between you two.

0:23:060:23:10

-The photographer is here

-to capture the moment.

0:23:110:23:15

-LAUGHTER

0:23:180:23:19

-And you in the front too.

0:23:210:23:23

-Like this.

0:23:230:23:25

-The same group is back

-in the same place.

0:23:250:23:28

-A few have moved to England.

0:23:280:23:31

-One has gone overseas.

0:23:310:23:33

-And a few are still on the island.

0:23:340:23:36

-But for one moment...

0:23:380:23:40

-..the Tynygongl Floral Dance crew

-is back together.

0:23:410:23:44

-That's it - 1, 2, 3!

0:23:450:23:47

-It was great to see everyone. Ann

-came all the way from New Zealand.

0:23:560:24:00

-I didn't expect to see her.

0:24:000:24:02

-The experience today has really made

-me want to come back to Ynys Mon.

0:24:020:24:06

-I'm sure we will keep in touch.

0:24:070:24:09

-You and your knees!

0:24:100:24:12

-LAUGHTER

0:24:120:24:14

-What did you say? Thank goodness

-this didn't happen when we were 60!

0:24:150:24:19

-It was a journey back to childhood

-when we were safe and happy...

0:24:200:24:24

-..free of cares.

0:24:250:24:26

-Isn't it good that we don't

-know what's around the corner?

0:24:260:24:30

-But with friends,

-you can overcome anything.
