Each season used to have its game. There'd be marbles, and in springtime when the days were getting longer, we used to come down to the village with hoops. The boys used to have iron ones, but the girls had wooden ones, and we used to have the middle size, I think it used to cost fourpence with a stick. We'd come down the road before school – there was very little traffic then and it was just horse traffic – and then go up the road and come back again. And then there'd be ball games in the wintertime. Also in the winter my mother would dress up with my Aunt Lilly. She used to dress up as a man. She was slender, but Lilly was plumper, so she used to wear a black cap. It was just making fun amongst your own people.
