Yew Tree Home
I lived with Mum, Dad and brother Richard here for around 10 years from 10 yrs to 20 yrs old. I went to Riversmead School in Grindleton. Some very happy times in this beautiful place are in my memory. It's great to find this photo on line. I live in Australia now but will eventually come for a memory visit.
