:28:00
Oh, that's nice.
:28:02
Is it someplace real?
:28:04
I think so. It's called
the Golden Valley, I believe.

:28:08
- Somewhere in Herefordshire.
- Somewhere special?

:28:11
In a way. It was on our nursery wall
when I was a child.

:28:15
I didn't know
it was a real place then.

:28:17
I thought it was a view
of heaven.

:28:21
Oh, the promised land.
:28:25
I used to think that one day
I'd come around a bend in the road...

:28:29
or over the brow of a hill,
and there it would be.

:28:39
I have been really hurt.
You know?

:28:43
First time is always the worst.
:28:45
That was when my mother died.
:28:48
- How old were you?
- Nine.

:28:51
- That's old enough to hurt.
- Oh, yes.

:28:54
It was the end
of my world.

:28:57
I remember my father in tears...
:28:59
voices all over the house...
:29:02
doors shutting and opening.
:29:04
It was a big house,
all long, empty corridors.

:29:08
I remember I had toothache,
and I wanted my mother to come to me.

:29:11
I cried for her to come,
but she didn't come.

:29:15
And after death,
did you believe you'd meet her again?

:29:23
I don't think I had any faith
in anything when I was a child.

:29:26
She was gone,
that was all.

:29:30
And still you listen for the footsteps
coming down the corridors.

:29:34
But they don't come.
:29:39
Yes.
:29:46
- You should see the garden before dark.
- Yes, I'd like that.

:29:48
- You'll need a coat.
- I have one right here.

:29:55
- There's a lake! A wood with a lake!
- Oh, good.

:29:58
It's really a flooded clay pit
for the old brick works.
