this ornamental cabbage is growing in our garden. it looks pretty cool so i'm not going to eat it.

My Dad was showing me various old photos of Portadown that he has been asked to annotate. One of the pictures was of a Mr Bob Heathwood and his family. Along with the photo, was a tribute published in the local paper that my Dad wrote in 1974, following Mr. Heathwood's death. It's a totally from the heart, but beautifully written, and it is very pleasing to experience a little of my Dad's past life as he tends to hide his light under a bushel these days.
