The Drive Seventy Plus Years Ago


The house and the wall are unchanged but nowadays there's far more foliage around the drive.

The demurely smiling lady is Margaret Sweeney, the matriarch of the Sweeney family that used to live here.

I am amazed to see this open, but instantly recognisable drive way. And I wonder how the present trees managed to grow so tall in all the storms that passed by!

Unfortunately, the beautiful garden wall was ruined during my first driving lesson. I managed to drive the Volkswagen right on top and the wall collapsed.
