Description: | There is a message written on the back of the image by Gordon Donaldson to his girlfriend Edith. The message reads: "Here is a photo of our Monastry and Garden, not a very good one but the best a could get. I hope you like it, With Love and Best Wishes for the New Year. xxx To Edith from Gordon". "I was at home when this was taken so its no use trying to find me in the photo".
