Morning Robin,
So nice to see the tresses. Were they on the Garrison (nr. Morning Point) ? I've seen them there many times - if not, I would welcome the knowledge of other locations.

You missed my comment earlier last week re: your 'Now & then' pictures. I have a scanned library of our local historian's Scilly post card collection (Peter Gilson now sadly deceased). Some may be new to you and could be material for yet more of your comparison images.
If you contact me on mail@csmlimited.plus.com I will forward you some.

Kind regards
Steve Martin
