One of the big, the favourite things to do was to go out in a horse and cart, out to the country, where we would take our slice of bread and whatever, anything else that you had to eat, and we would have a picnic. The country chapels would welcome you with open arms because remember, there was no television, no cinema, nothing to entertain you, and so of course this cart load of people arriving from town to sing songs was a great entertainment and a great occasion. I always remember once being given a fig by somebody when we were having our picnic out at Saumarez Park, and that was an absolutely wonderful occasion. I can still remember now the taste of this fresh fig. Somebody out there must have had a fig tree and given us these figs.
