The photo was taken on a very rare visit to the Constitutional Club in Folkestone (where Vic - VR's dad - was chairman of the committee) when relations from the Midlands paid an even rarer visit to south-east England and Gran went along with them for the rideRoderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-31460718118065687282021-12-07T22:46:16.070+00:002021-12-07T22:46:16.070+00:00A lovely memory of your grandmother-in-law.
