Dunkeswell Abbey, 1974

Dunkeswell Abbey, 1974
Here, Felix and I are perching on a small milk stand attached to the wall of a barn near Orchard Cottage.  The local farmers placed their churns of milk on it every morning, for collection by the Ambrosia Creamed Rice factory in Hemyock.  It is late 1974, Felix is 2 and I am nearly 32.
