I remember that......

BARBARA Stuart-Torrie, who in her gracious letter (Penarth Times, July 17) made mention of waiting for Penarth Baths, on the beach front, to reopen after the winter break, may be interested to see a picture of inside the baths’ big pool.
Note the water polo nets suspended from the roof that were lowered to water level for competitions to take place.
Incidentally, congratulations to Hungary in winning gold against America (USA) in water polo at the 2008 Olympics.
This photo was given to me by John Reypert, of Byrd Crescent.

I remember that...
I HAVE attached an old picture of Daisy the donkey, with my father Charles Davies who was the gardener in the Seaview Children’s home Bradford Place, and an unknown rider. The field opposite the home was named the Donkey Field. I wonder if anyone remembers Daisy? I think I took the picture in the late 1950s. Daisy lived in a stable in the grounds and one of my jobs was to bring her in at night from the field. My aim was to ride Daisy from the field through the side driveway to her stable, but Daisy always took the corner with a fast swerve and I regularly fell off.
