We lived close to the sea, and every morning, after my mother got the baby and me washed, we used to go onto the sands with a two-handled basket. She took one handle and I took the other – and of course she was carrying the baby. When we got to the seashore, my mother used to put a piece of cloth down for us to sit on, and I had to look after the baby. My mother then gathered sticks and coal to put on the fire. The wages were that small, you had to do something. So when my mother had got plenty of coal and sticks we used to come away. I would only be about three years old.
