A pleasant lunchtime in the early 1980s: a short walk over from Pebble Mill to Cannon Hill Park.

The photo was probably taken in 1980/1, as Karen left Pebble Mill in 1982. The girls worked together in Asian Programmes, Chris later went on to work in ‘Farming’ and on ‘Gardeners’ World’ as a production assistant.
