Another Lucky Find
David spotted Zara’s autobiography in a second hand bookstore while visiting Sydney. He recalled that it was on my reading list for the Enid/Harold project.
From what I have read so far Zara does focus on the pleasant aspects of life, here is an example ” I loved the girls who looked after us in the [...]
Visited the Home of Joe and Enid Lyons Today
This photo is from the National Trust website, but I will post some of my photos soon. None of the photos do justice to the colours. Enid really wasn’t afraid of colour apparently.
