My favourite Camellia is looking really good this year, this is my Great Aunt Ella.
The first flower of many with lots of buds still to flower! We have no idea what the real name of this Camellia is because for more than 60 years or so it's been Great Aunt Ella's Camellia. A cutting was taken by my mum Rosie from Ella's garden when I was a young teen. Ella was such a beautiful person, here she is as a Nurse during WW2.

I just put this post on the Guildford Past and Present Facebook Page and had to share here...
A memory from 1978 came to mind yesterday after some online messaging with Sheila. Late in '78 David
and I were getting ready to sail back home to Australia when David saw
an article in the Surrey Advertiser about a man who was appearing in
court because he had been caught up a ladder unbolting a Bus Stop sign,
it was then found that his garage was full of these signs. This man who
was reputedly a teacher, was just trying to do his bit to save local
heritage as it was the EU who had decreed that Bus Stop signs in the UK
had to conform to their standard designs, (Central London was allowed to
keep their signs). David went off to London Country Buses in Reigate
and bought about 50 of these old signs paying, he thinks about 10 pounds
each. We shipped them and some wonderful furniture we'd bought over
the two years we'd been living in Guildford plus a few new things as
well which made 4 cubic metres in the hold of the 'Oriana' the ship we,
along with our three children sailed home on. We still have many of
these old signs and here's some photos of our favourites on the walls of
our family room, all our four children also have the odd sign in their
homes as well. Love these memories.
