Dear Editor
On April 1st I walked through the Peace Garden in Syston Park and was thrilled to find the Flowering Currant Allée in full bloom, looking and smelling just wonderful. The blossoms were in every available shade from white to a deep rosy pink. What a very ingenious and beautifully executed idea.
In my childhood the tennis courts were located in this area and the fragrance of the shrubs (like the scent of privet) rolled back the years.
The Bowling Green still looks immaculate; does anyone else remember Mrs Eva Garner of 47 High St Syston (a true old Victorian) cutting sandwiches for the Bowls Teas? She always said that her ice-cold hands made wonderful pastry which as a girl she had rolled out in the kitchens of Belvoir Castle.
Her husband Albert helped to build the Melton Road railway bridge before the Great War.
Best thanks and congratulations to all those who keep the Park looking so beautiful.
