The tree was planted in 1883 any it isn't that big in this image so suggest turn of the century (when Vic was about 10
)
Been nice knowing you :)

That's a beautiful postcard photo Kath
I'm sure that is Vic leaning against the railing
Colette will love that one when she recovers from a very nasty dose of flu. She has a lot of news on Connaught Park, lots of little green shoots to report back on, but she was struck down with this horrible flu bug a week ago. Doctor has confined her to bed and she is struggling at the moment to even stand up. Hopefully she will start feeling a bit better soon and update you all.

Flu makes you feel awful so I hope she recovers soon.
The flu jab is a wonderful thing I don't seem to even get that bad cold that seemed to occur all too frequently.

An odd coincidence it that Colette had the flu jab only a week ago.

last week a group of doctors said that overall the flu jab was a waste of time. clearly works with some though reading comments over the years on here.
out of interest brian how does a young blade like you qualify for one?
