Children headed for the park in eager anticipation of meeting the friendly donkey known as The Children’s Friend. Each would wait patiently for their turn before being lifted on to Judy’s back. Laughing excitedly, they would then be led along winding paths and over the rolling grassland. Later the children
romped uphill and down dale or spent time by the lake, perhaps fishing for sticklebacks or dangling their feet in the water. Heading home on foot or by trams and buses, they relived their experiences when they got home. Judy gave rides to thousands of children during 21 years of devoted service in Princes Park.
She was a big attraction from 1905, when some of the park was still private, up until her death in 1926. It was a period that started in the high summers of the Edwardian era, through the uncertainties of the First World War and into the Roaring Twenties. This was a period of great social change in Liverpool when living standards gradu-
ally improved for most people. Princes Park, then as now, was popular with all ages. It was a pioneering green space designed by top landscape designer Joseph Paxton. Opened in 1842 on what was then the edge of the town, it took more than 10 years to complete.

As a Clinical Nurse she also set up a clinic for those suffering with sickle cell disease and inherited blood disorders. Although busy, she found time to join the Soroptimists in recent years.

PARK AND RIDE by Stephen Guy continued from page 1 Many watched the creation of the park with interest as it was a radical experiment in public green space, a blueprint for later parks. It may be difficult to visualise today but Liverpool in the 1840s was a dirty, smog-laden port where poor living conditions and disease
frequently led to early death. Buildings and trees were covered in soot from countless chimneys. Princes Park was the idea of merchant and councillor Richard Vaughan Yates who went ahead with the scheme after the Corporation refused to get involved. He bought 90 acres
of land from the Earl of Sefton. More than half was used for public open space and the rest sold for houses to finance the scheme, inspired by Regent’s Park in London. While the public were admitted to the outer areas, the fenced Park Garden was reserved for wealthy local residents until
1918. A simple stone (pictured) marks Judy’s final resting place in a shady glade she knew well. • Learn more about the history of Liverpool at the M u s e u m o f Liverpool, PierHead, open 10 am to 5 pm every day, admission free.

LARISSA’S CHARITY SKYDIVE Local girl Larissa Wignall embarked on an exciting journey on Sunday 9th June, when she took part in a Tandem Skydive forher chosen charity, Breast Cancer Care. Larissa, aged 25 and from South Liverpool, knew that it was going to be a day to remember. With losing her auntie to breast cancer several years ago, doing something for the charity was always on her agenda. The disease not only affects women but men too, with 55,000 people being diagnosed with it every year (over 80% of which are women over 50 years of age). So Larissa took part in an 11000 feet Tandem Skydive at Black Knights Parachute Centre in Lancaster where her Mum Jeannie, Dad Brian, best friend Anna, niece Scarlett-Lily and Aunty Marie Doran all came to support her on an exciting, worthwhile and beneficial day in memory of their loved one. Larissa raised sponsorship online on her Just Giving page as well as receiving cash donations from her family and friends. Larissa told The LINK: “The emphasis on the day was and still is to raise constant awareness for this terrible disease that may well affect most people in some way throughout their lives, whether it’s through a family member, friend or neighbour. If
we all pull together and dig deep we can all help Breast Cancer Care and if you want to get involved with the charity there are walks, runs, overseas adventures and more all on offer with the full support and regular contact with the charity”. “This was actually my second skydive as I also did another Tandem Skydive at Lancaster when I was 18 in aid of Zoe’s Place Hospice. You too can do something moving, adventurous and exhilarating and what better cause than doing it for a charity close to your heart”.

The pretty girl sang as she danced around the garden, sometimes standing on one leg before skipping then crawling through the bushes. Mother watched from the French windows amused at the innocent antics of her youngest child. Bette Brice was just 11, highly intelligent and brighter than her older brother and sister as well as school friends who regarded her with awe. Bette’s cherubic face was framed in blonde hair tied in plaits. When she smiled, which she did almost constantly, her rosy cheeks glowed.

To advertise see page TWO Marie Curie Cancer Care by growing the charity’s iconic yellow daffodil logo as part of the Mini Pots of Care appeal right across Merseyside.” Learning Support Assistant at Much Woolton Primary Mrs Crawford said: “The children had great fun doing Mini Pots of Care, and the lesson plans provided were great at getting the kids involved. They all planted their bulbs in the autumn, and watched them grow into beautiful daffodils in spring. Painting their pots was great fun too, and all the time we were raising funds for Marie Curie which is such a fantastic cause.” We’re thrilled that Ruby won this year’s paint your Mini Pot competition, and hope to take part in the appeal again next year. I would definitely recommend it to other schools!” Now in its ninth year, Mini Pots of Care is a creative and edu-
cational project for schools and groups, teaching children about science, nature and the work of Marie Curie Cancer Care. Last year over 3,200 Schools, nurseries and organisations took part in the appeal which invites children aged between 3 and 11 to plant and grow beautiful yellow daffodils and fundraise for the charity. The children receive a free kit including daffodil bulbs to plant in the autumn and care for throughout the winter months, reflecting the work of Marie Curie Nurses, and the charities Liverpool Hospice, which provide free care to patients with terminal illnesses. In the spring, children celebrate their daffodils in bloom by holding a Mini Pots of Care Fundraising Day when they have fun painting their pots, holding fundraising activities and learning about the work of Marie Curie.

The family home was built on a corner boasting a large garden with towering ancient trees. Grandfather was a former Royal Navy officer whose souvenirs decorated the greenery – here a giant clam that had once grabbed his foot, there a grotesque carved wooden Polynesian god revered by a mysterious tribe. Inside the neat house walls were bedecked with exotic items gathered across the globe – a crocodile’s foot, Zulu shield, shrunken head and various lumps of coral. One day in the summer of 1933 Bette returned excitedly from school. Her best friend Monica had brought an amazing object into class – her
“It’s wonderful,” said Bette as she lifted it out of the box. She held it at arm’s length, examining the features
mother’s life mask. The masks were the latest craze and it had recently been returned from the sculpture’s studio, destined for Monica’s drawing room wall. “I must have one!” exclaimed Bette with her usual assertiveness. Her birthday loomed so it was agreed she go to Mr C r o w ’s s t u d i o i n Rodney Street where the mask would be made. Mother held her hand as the plaster of Paris was smeared gently over Bette’s face. Two drinking straws were inserted in her nostrils so she could breathe. Mr Crow told Bette to keep her face completely still while the plaster set. Once done, he created a mould resulting in a glazed ceramic mask complete
closely. Everyone was astonished at how lifelike it was. “It’s like having two Bettes in the room,” said Gran looking up at the wide-
eyed mask gazing serenely from the wall. It replicated Bette’s face to perfection – its skin glowed and hair shone while the soulful eyes seemed alive.

To advertise see page TWO Bette was overjoyed but some of her friends were less impressed. “You’re all jealous,” said Bette. One morning mother was shocked to discover the mask had fallen off the wall - two vicious cracks disfigured the once-perfect face. Mother steeled herself and went straight to Bette’s room, nervously approaching the figure hidden under the sheets. She gently shook Bette’s shoulder. At first there was no response then Bette’s head emerged slowly, dishevelled blonde hair falling back to reveal her face. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Bette asked as her mother stared in horror. Bette scrambled over to the mirror and screamed at the thing gazing back at her. • Read my next Strange Tale – March of the Tree Beings – in the September Link.

5 TIPS FOR GETTING FIT THIS SUMMER by Paul Coshott 1. Take control Write down your goals, a date when you’re going to achieve it and reasons why you want it. Tell people what you are going to do, which will contribute towards your commitment.
2. Water intake Hopefully we will be in for a nice, hot summer. Make sure you are hydrated and drinking plenty of water. Being hydrated will help curb your appetite.
3. Portion control A general rule of thumb is that each meal should consist of protein and carbohydrates, with a protein portion being the size of your palm and a carbohydrate portion being the size of your fist. Also, try and add some vegetables or salad, as they contain nutrients your body needs. Your fat intake can be met by white meats, fish, dairy products and nuts and red meats are higher in saturated fat.
4. Little and often 10 minutes of exercise each day can be enough to take you towards your goal, depending on what it is
5. Have a ball Haha, and I just don’t mean going
out and partying! Having a football, tennis ball, or cricket ball can help you move more and create enjoyment Congratulations to Phil Walsh who has lost just under 2 stone in the past 12 weeks. Phil has been doing Boxercise once a week and also has become more active by using his bike to get about. I’m sure Phil would agree that he has only made slight changes to his diet but by becoming more active and willing to learn, he has become more aware of what he needs to do to help him achieve his overall goal.
BOXERCISE AND JU JITSU Boxercise and JuJitsu will continue throughout the summer holidays at St Mary’s Church Hall, St Mary’s Road, Cressington: Monday 5-6.15pm Kids JuJitsu; Monday 6.207.30pm Boxercise; We d n e s d a y 5 6.15pm Kids JuJitsu; Wednesday 6.30-8pm Adult JuJitsu; Wednesday 7-8pm Boxercise.

THE CROFT BACK IN TRAINING AS PREPARATIONS BEGIN IN EARNEST by Mick Titherington Stoneycroft FC players returned f o r p re - s e a s o n training recently and were put through theirpaces by trainer Mick Russell and manager John Leary. A good session was held with players coping with the heat admirably. It is often said that you know when the football season is about to begin because the sun comes out. Conversely it always appears to rain at the beginning of the cricket season. With the Lions’ test victory and Andy Murray’s achievement to ponder all we need now is for us win the Ashes and for England to win the World Cup - or am I getting ahead of myself! Coming back to reality, the ‘Croft are de-
