Monday is not inauspicious to Hindus , I Guess, since You had several strikes after pruning was started , that worker would have thought may be the starting day was inauspicious, and changing that might help, any way it was a good decision,

Ian Harrison . Commented on Hantane

I am the great grand son of Gordon Pyper Snr. Gordon P. Jnr. was his son by his first marriage and AK (Kenneth) was a son from his second marriage. Kenneth is my great uncle. My grand mother was born at Hantane and "incubated" on the verandah of the manager's / owner's bungalow. She was christened by a nun going "up country" to a leper colony. My GGF is buried at Hantane as is his first wife and an infant son. GP Snr. was the owner of the estate but I am not sure of the date of acquisition. He had been a manager pre the acquisition date to learn the trade.

This is marked as the incorrect Hunnasgiriya (two n's) on the map - it should be Hunasgiriya - close to Elkaduwa.

I have also trekked part of The Chariot path from Mooloya lower division and over the hills to Frotoft on the ramboda side with my Kingswood College friends. The stunted trees at the summit is testimony to the stong winds in the area. reversing directions with the Monsoons

Angela Walker . Commented on Mousa Ella

Two typographical details: At Mousa Ella estate, the Asst. Manager 1920-1921 was Littleton-Geach, H W, (not Little Geach, G W) ; and the Manager 1926-1927 was Dendy, N H (not Derdy, N H).

Dendy was at the time the manager of the nearby Tillicoultry Estate and took on the management of Mousa Ella while its bungalow was being rebuilt.

Littleton-Geach then returned to Mousa Ella as Manager until 1936.

He was a keen member of the Dimbula Athletic and Cricket Club at Radella. A fine right arm swing bowler, he took 7 wickets for only 3 runs in the match against Dickoya, March 22-23, 1933
