Thanks for your kind comments. You have a good memory – I’d forgotten the Simca (although now you mention it, I did drive it into the front of the house one evening while Mum and Dad were out).

I know exactly what you mean about Garvagh Hill. That beautiful green dome never leaves you. I remember the above view of the house very well too, but with your Dad’s brown Triumph Dolomite parked outside (and you Mum’s Simca?)! Anyway, many happy memories of playing in that garden with old Snowball – and Roger and Mark too of course…
