A View From The Band Stand
I was born in 1965, the year the photo was taken and at the time my dad was a gardener at Parc Howard. I remember going to visit him almost every day, in the summer months, with either my grandmother or mother. This was a very familiar view taken from the band stand.
After what felt like hours of playing I would be taken to the cafe and bought sweets from a large select behind a glass cabinet.
Often we would go up the hill (to the left in the photo) to watch the old men play bowls and as I grew older I would play on the putting green.

I remember your father working in the potting sheds in Glasfryn nurseries with my uncle who was head gardener, Lles Hotten. Also the cafe which always smelled of damp but always had a home-made lolly, from Margaret George, Llanelli.
