    Interesting, Ronald. I'm writing an oral history of one British military officer who was stationed in the area during WW2 and his parents were friends of "the MacDonalds" who worked Cannavarella in 1942. Described it as paradise then.

    Excellent commentary on your planting days at Maskeliya. Manilal Abeywardena was my first & only Srilankan VA at Craig Bandarawela. His inputs to the estate we’re always spot on as usual.Thanks Devaka.👍🏽

    Hi Siva. A wonderful story of your early days as a planter. I wonder if you remember me from Keppoch days when you were on Balangoda. Remember we used to have memorable trips round the country one in particular was a trip to Matara. I believe we both had Honda motor cycles . So happy to have made contact with you.

    John, good to see your picture! I never had the privilege of meeting you but I was SD on both L.D., and then U.D of Pitaratmalie under Peter Uglow. That was from 1962 to 1968. You were then on Tangakelle, and I think the late Derek Munaweera was one of your S.Ds. Quite a guy, old Derek. I knew the Munaweeras as I too studied at Trinity.

    Hi!
    I believe J D Stevenson is my great grand father. His daughter Jennie's daughter is my mother Jennifer Williams who is now a Boteju! I also believe J D Stevenson owned a Cocoa Plantation as opposed to Tea. Would love to find out more about him.
