The Village of Llanybri near Carmarthen

"HOME AND HEARTH"

Imagine a farm kitchen in the 1940's. The farmer at home tending the land, his wife glad that he's not away in France on the battleground. The "home guard" helmet on the window sill ready for use. The young family are eating cawl, while the dog waits for his master to help with the cows or sheep. The old rayburn with its constantly boiling kettle. The wife is pregnant again, and about to tell her husband this fact. The last of the winter hams hanging from the ceiling, and the washing is airing above the stove. A simple unadorned kitchen, with ration books on the mantlepiece.
