Check oot this auld poastcaird i the Fountain in aw its glory wi auld G-pans the Bronx in the backgroond.
Ah wis trying ti work oot whit angle this wis tain fi, bit Bridgeness Tower gies a bit i perspective. The grassy slope mid-foaty is whaur wi used ti gress slide in front i Victoria Place, up fi the Crown, mind. Up fi Tooty's hoose? Ah'm surmisin that must be the store bakery we kin see wi the big lum?
In the foregroond ah wee lassie hus jist been stung bi a wasp that hus crawled doon her T-shirt, spookily similar ti an incident a hunner years later involving Yan (altho' the wee lassie wisnae tryin ti blooter the wasp's byke wi the Fountain rockery stanes).
Compare above wi the state i the Vicky Park nooadays -
Begonias replaced wi bucky boatils, Sweetpeas wi Superlager, Jasmine wi Jazz Mags.
- a fkn disgrace.

Also - if u look carefully u kin see sumby bendin doon next ti her ti try and avoid gittn his foaty taein. Presumably, this wis the grandfaither i yin i they auld boys who yased ti sit in the bushes ower the shore readn scud mags.
