2:00

year. It was not great. I think

2:02

my response was homeschooling, trying to write a book.

2:07

Can't do this right now. I so

2:09

badly wanted to have you, but we're here now, Celia. Thank

2:11

you so much for being here. I've admired your

2:14

gorgeous co-ord. I love a co-ord. So

2:16

I will be asking you for

2:18

the link to that afterwards. Okay, you

2:20

can have it. Perfect. You can even

2:22

borrow this. Okay, shall we start

2:24

at the beginning, Celia? Let's do it. Okay, Celia

2:26

Hearn, your first memory of

2:29

laughter. Okay, so

2:31

it is not just one specific

2:34

memory, but it is

2:36

a series of moments with a group of

2:38

people. Okay. And that is my

2:40

mom's family, which are the Kelly family. She's

2:43

one of 11 kids. Right.

2:45

So I have seven uncles and four,

2:47

well, three aunts and a mother. Right.

2:50

And they are just, they're

2:53

so funny. It's mayhem. They

2:56

grew up in Jones's Road, which is just

2:58

beside Crow Park. Yes. And all

3:01

of my memories and my earliest memories of

3:03

laughter are with them. And it was just

3:05

absolute mayhem. They're all

3:08

just crazy uncles. Yeah. Crazy uncles,

3:10

funny aunts. I remember them

3:12

using me as a ball and they

3:15

would stand in a circle and they would

3:17

throw me from brother, uncle to uncle. And

3:19

when my mom could never watch what they

3:21

did with me and I would just laugh

3:23

and laugh. They did aggressive tickles and lots

3:25

of disgusting fluff coming out of belly buttons.

3:27

And like they were just, they

3:30

were just, and they all had beards and

3:32

mustaches and they were just so much fun.

3:34

And they're all, and they're still the same.

3:36

Like whenever we get together, it's just, I

3:39

just laugh. And there's so much going on. You know,

3:41

you have to be really fast to keep up. And

3:43

they're all so funny. They're also educated and they, you

3:45

know, they're all really smart as

3:47

well. So there's a lot of like intellectual humor.

3:51

But that is my, I just remember those days of

3:53

it, particularly if there was a match on, you know,

3:55

crowds going down Jones Jones road. And if it was

3:57

a sunny day, we'd all be in the garden.
