It's a huge part of our heritage and we're insanely proud of it. Tin and fish. I wish I'd lived in those days. A hard hard life, but a life to be proud of. I love listening to stories from my elder relatives.

Edit: A lot of the Crofty boys moved to Ontario, to a town called Timmins (where Shania Twain came from incedentally), to work in the Gold Mine, including my uncle and his family. Which has meant a nice few summers in Canada for me yippee!
