If the good Lord spares me,
near the end of next month, May, I'll be 94.
I sometimes think of my working days,
and I wonder to myself
how I could have lingered so long.
I used to go up and down hills,
carrying loads on my back,
and that's why you see my fingers
are crooked the way they are.
My father and mother had animals in the garden.
That's all we lived off.
We had a little bit of margarine in a little tin,
and a pound of flour and a pound of sugar.
That had to last me ever so long.
We didn't see food being wasted in those days
as we see wasted now days.
We were poor and had to work very hard but
people were happier those days, than what
people seem to be nowadays.
As for myself you know,
I just take life as it comes.
That's the way I feel about it.
I'm going to make some oat crunchies.
The easiest way to do this would be to use
the electric thing. But I...
I am somehow so used to doing it this way.
But today things are much more convenient.
It gives us a bit more time actually, but the thing is,
it gives us a bit more time, but we seem to have less time.
In our days we didn't get out and about like young people today.
We had to walk everywhere we went.
I never saw a car.
Not until I must have been in my early teens,
when I saw the first car.
There's the old Land Rover.
We stuck it there, and now the trees are growing up into it.
So much has changed, exactly.
I've got so much to be thankful for,
to be happy about.
I enjoy the sound of the little birds when I come out in the morning.
I look around and the little birds are sitting around and singing their song.
And I think, how wonderful to be able to enjoy that.
Even the crickets sometimes, they are all happy.
That's how they feel - they're happy.
The frogs - they'll start their song.
And that sort of thing always amuses me somehow.
It's a lot to keep you alive, and happy, I always think.
I think we need to be more thankful,
and more satisfied with what we have.
It's true.
