00:001948 we got electricity at Alvey and it was great excitement.
00:05We were a little bit lucky, we had batteries that we used to charge while we milked the cows,
00:12with the pump going, you know.
00:14And then we'd bring the batteries over to the house
00:17and we had the string that you pulled that was light, which was a bit flash actually,
00:22we thought we were special.
00:24But then when electricity came we got fridges, we got electric stoves, oh, heaven.
