-A tuning fork. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
-That's how he'd start us off. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
-We'd have a short reading... | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
-..a psalm or something, -and then we'd sing. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
-What did we sing? | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
-All Things Bright And Beautiful. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |

-Especially if you were late. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
-We didn't do PE... | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
-..but we'd march around the yard... | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
-..and turn... | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
-Like a military drill. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:24 | |

-And the boys -had to wash their knees... | 0:06:18 | 0:06:23 | |
-..because they'd get very dirty... | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
-..when they played marbles. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
-Six of us would be washed... | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |

-We had a big iron bath... | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |

-We'd salt a pig. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
-And hang it from the ceiling -on a hook. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:50 | |
-We had a pigsty... | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |

-..Uncle Tom, as we called him... | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
-..who was Mam's cousin... | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |

-The deed had been done. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |

-The three of them -boiled in a saucepan on the floor. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
-I'd be on my knees on the floor. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
-I'd try to remove all the bones. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
-The pigs would hang -from hooks on the ceiling. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:49 | |
-I'd put it in a clean cloth... | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
-..tie a knot in it... | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
-..and place a plate -over the top of a large bowl... | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
-..and a big stone on top of that -to squeeze out all the fat. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:09 | |

-..around five o'clock. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
-They had to speak Welsh to us. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:05 | |
-We didn't speak much English. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
-Many have died. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
-All that row. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |

-I've spent every Christmas -throughout my entire life... | 0:18:35 | 0:18:41 | |
-..at Bryn Hyfryd. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |

-It must've been hard. - -Yes, it was. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
-There were eight of you, after all. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
-We'd have an apple and an orange. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
-That's what you had back then. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
-I'd ask... | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
-..for nuts, oranges and toffee... | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
-..because I knew I'd get those. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
-I didn't have big presents -but I always had something to wear. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:43 | |
-Either gloves or socks. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
-Or a jumper. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
-As children, our Christmas presents -were a penny in a stocking... | 0:19:52 | 0:19:57 | |

-That's what it is. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
-You don't expect to reach that age -but it creeps up on you. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:41 | |
-Dear me, -I don't look ahead to the future! | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |

-I'd like to go... | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
-..the same way as my eldest brother. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
-He died in his sleep. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
-I think he had a heart attack. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
