She must have grown up to be heart breaker John. :-D
Just in the back-ground is a privet hedge, which in fact was a squared off area. It was always locked when I was a lad, at some time it may have been a bit of a public garden. There was a park bench in front of it, and it was there I had my first serious kiss... and she WAS a heart breaker!
