  • . Commented on The Fergusons in Ceylon

    What an amasing wealth of excellent information is in these books. Richard Thompson, c.1961 Superintendent of Robgill, a few years ago sent me a 1961 copy of the "Red Book" as a gift and I have since referred to it hundreds of times for various reasons. I also have frequently accessed this wealth of data via The History of Ceylon Tea website.

    Anura, was Derek ever on an estate whose entrance was opposite the entrance to the Maskeliya club - c. 1961 or 1965? (Ian Gunewardene).

    Larry was a good friend and Ceylon Tea Plantations Company colleague. He took over Radella estate from me in 1964 when I moved on to Alton, Upcot. He left planting and Ceylon a few years later: Ceylon's loss and America's gain.

    I was blessed in being able to spend five days on this beautiful tea estate in January 1970, and still have vivid memories of it and the warm welcome that I was given.

  • . Commented on The health benefits of green tea - BBC Good Food

    Green tea is also good for inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and gout due to THE antioxidant epigallocatechin-3-gallat (EGCG). Various stufies have shown EGCG protects joints and tissues by lowering the immune system's production of certain molecules that might lead to inflammation and joint pain. A good article on this can be found here http://beatgout.org/is-green-tea-good-for-gout/

    I was interested to read the History of the Hethersett Tea Factory at Kandapola and wonder from where the author got the information – as no acknowledgement of the source is given. It seems remarkably similar to my booklet about it published by the Tea Factory Hotel in May 1996. Royston Ellis.

  • . Commented on THE END OF A CORPORATE GIANT – THE STORY OF WALKER SONS & Co. Ltd

    My late husband Geoffrey Bernard Collier came to Ceylon from Britain under contract to Walkers as a director of the company. His contract ended in 1961, we moved to New Zealand. We used to joke that while he was attached to Walker's car division, my father Lt Col Gordon Austin was a director at rival Rowlands Ltd. Both companies suffered greatly when imports were stopped, Geoff was fortunate not to see this happen but felt for his colleagues still at Walkers.
