Blinkbonnie Tea Plantation
I have just seen your article. Blinkbonnie is a Tea Estate just outside Dickoya. My Great-Great Grandfather bought it in 1845 from part of his winnings on the Derby(Blinkbonnie came in at 20-1) My Father PG Davis was born on the estate and I was taken out there in 1945 at the age of three months. I returned to the UK to go to prep-school in 1952 and used to return for Summer and Christmas holidays untill 1955 when my father had to sell up because the Government of the day weren't to keen on European Proprietry Owners. I am hoping to visit next year Regards Robert Davis
