 My Great Aunt Ella in her beautiful garden on what was once a Tennis Court.
 Ella's home.

I remember looking forward to visiting our beautiful Aunt Ella, she was such a lovely person.  Ella was the older sister of my Grandfather Clements, the only girl in this side of the Rodd Family, but I did not like the cake she usually served us.  Ella didn't have much money to live on so she shared her small home with a friend.  The aforementioned cake she served was usually very old and had mould on it somewhere, I remember my brother Tim and I asking if we could go outside to enjoy our cake which we were allowed to do... very quickly we found one of Ella's garden spades, found a spare piece of garden and buried our cake 😊  I have no idea if she ever discovered our wicked ways!

Ella's garden was so beautiful and always in flower, this Camelia below is a cutting of one from her garden in Drummoyne.  It has struggled a bit here but last year it burst into the most beautiful flowers ever seen.
 Such wonderful memories of my beautiful Great Aunt Ella.
