and then, a day later in new zealand, zoe's gran died at the great old age of 98. she was a fabulous lady, tough little liverpudlian who went to new zealand as a teenager, and brought a family up in the goldfields of otago while living in a tent through the heat of summer and snow in winter. she was very independent, would always tell you straight, and had a wickedly funny sense of humour that came with a twinkle in her eyes and 'knowing' kind of smile. gran was instrumental in bringing up zoe too, and was a like a second mum to her. so many happy memories of gran, a life well lived. her name was ada findlay. please say a prayer for her, and for those she leaves behind.
2 shots of happy, 1 shot of sad...

g'day barro - lovely to see your mugshot on the blog, and what a nice surprise to hear from you.
its quite amazing who actually does reconnect via this medium, as some kiwi friends from nelson days (1993) have just this week emailed me through the blog.
hope things are well in your neck of the woods. i won't be at greenbelt this year, as i'm going sailing instead.
