This is the statue of Peter Pan (40) in Hyde Park, London, next to the Serpentine.
Important because way back when (early 1930's - a guess) this is where my Mother's parents met. Gran was working in service at a house fronting Hyde Park. Grandpa was down for the day in London. He got shut in the park after dusk and met Grandma by the statue whilst looking for a way out. She knew one - they dated and many years later here I am.
Grandma was known as Funny Gran - a strong lady who passed away a few years ago. Grandpa was a lovely quiet chap who I remember from the 1970s - he worked at the De Havilland place in Collingdale as an engineer. They lived in Willesden when my Mum was younger.
