I don't know what this will become yet. But, Google insisted on me giving them a URL when I uploaded a video to them, so I figured I'd better set something up. Let's see what happens!

Aunt Marion reminisces

Often when we visit Aunty Marion she talks about things that happened when she was younger. This trip I decided I would video some of it as thought Mum (who is very interested in researching family history) would find it entertaining. It was filmed over dinner at the Red Lion pub in Freshwater.



In order, Aunt Marion talks about the following (with start times in brackets):
  • Her garden at the Ilford House (10 secs)
  • Talking about trains (1 min, 30 secs)
  • Meeting her first husband Nick in Torquay (2 min, 10 secs)
  • How Nick was like Uncle Jim (3 min)
  • Uncle Jim in India during the war (3 min, 20 secs)
  • What Uncle Jim did after the war (6 min, 10 secs)
  • Meeting Uncle Jim when she was aged 16 (7 min, 50 secs)
  • Travelling and what Heathrow was like (10 min)
  • Uncle Jim and his trains (11 min, 10 secs)
  • Uncle Jim and his sailing (12 min, 40 secs)
  • Thinking she would die in hospital (15 min, 20 secs)
  • Being paralysed as a child (16 min, 30 secs)
  • Having scarlet fever as a child (17 min, 30 secs)
  • Very old relatives (18 min, 30 secs)
  • Old clocks and teapots (21 min, 30 secs)
  • More about relatives (23 min)
  • About relatives being Quakers (24 min, 30 secs)
  • Northern roots (25 min, 50 secs)
  • Her parents (27 min, 20 secs)
  • Her singing in light opera (31 min, 30 secs)
  • Her grandfather making home liqueur (32 min)
Just in case the above video stops working, it's also available here on Google Video.
