  • . Commented on MEMOIRS OF MANIK PEREIRA

    Allow me, please, to comment on Manik's statement, and I quote: "Peter Easteal was not a popular planter as he did not mix with the "coloured" planters". From personal experience I doubt that Manik's statement is correct and I think Ralston Tissera would agree with me if he were here today to do so. Peter Easteal was VA of Radella and Forres estates when Ralston and I were in charge of these estates. Ralston spoke well of Peter and Peter and I were good friends from when I was on Forres in 1958 & 1961 and Radella c.1962 during which times we spent many hours at the Maskeliya club and our homes over a drink or two discussing, mainly, philosphical matters. He and I were also in agreement on a lot of planting principals which we frequently discussed. I suggest that Peter may have been strict or difficult with a creeper or SD but was not rascist. I have noticed that many young Ceylonese planters who had difficulty mixing and communicating with European planters viewed the European planters as racsist - without cause. I knew of one Dimbulla planter who disliked Ceylonese planters (or just me!) and, one day, at the bar of the Radella Club in the company of a few English planters, I openly left that man out of a round of drinks I was calling! . . . and I don't think THAT went unnoticed!

  • . Commented on A Brief History of Henfold Estate

    I remember this Thomas-Jackson c.1952-54 & 1957-64 when I planted in the district but don't think I knew him. He must have been the one who sculpted tea bushes, below and across from the Lindula road and the river, to read HENFOLD.

  • . Commented on In Praise of a Hallowed Event

    The "undecypherable" word in Tait's response is "expecting" and he is saying that he was surprised that Salgado and de Mel were asking for leave when it would clash with the Company Manager's invitation to them to visit him on the week end of the 16th. or the 24th. at Scrubs in Nuwara Eliya. Salgado told me that Tait was an unsavoury and racist man* who "looked down upon" non Europeans. Let me stress that, apart from W.Miller, who was PD on Dewalakande at that time, I think, all C.T.P. planters were far from racsist and the relationship between PDs and SDs was usually rather informal and friendly. The the C.T.P. was, in fact, like a big family (there were about 32 estates with 32 Superintendents and about 12 Assistants) most on first-name terms. In fact, amongst planters in general racism was non-existant, as far as my observations went.
