So not Octave Thanet, or Palliative care................ But John Walker is warm

The clue is the function now of the Building. It was once a school

Hi John Walker, please explain where Octave Thanet is mentioned?


Journey of Life is that a reference to Palliative care?

Come on the rest of you try harder. Here's a bit of bait to draw you in. Queen Mother loved the gardens.

Thanks JW. It does seem to be only a few of us still. Here's a clue to help others .
If you sat here looking at the gardens over the years you would have had some very notable company.
