I'm wondering how Colin got on yesterday in his WALK, probably through some atrocious weather, especially the closer he got to home. I'm watching the Olympics on telly this morning, and I can't think of anything to write here, so I'll give you some more of my photos.
1978 at Murupara, when I was town clerk, and Rewi Wihare was a councillor, council foreman, and Fire Chief.
This was at the opening ceremony of the new police station, and Rewi seemed to be thinking that I should be the first arrest.
Round about 1968, during a charity event in my home town of Musselburgh, Scotland. Organised by the local Lewisvale Spartans athletic club. Almost hidden by me, at the back as we lie on a trampoline, is the club founder, the late Ian Steedman originally from New Zealand.
A self-explanatory cutting, from a time (2005) when I had hopes of raising funds to enable me to get from New Zealand to London and then complete a charity walk around Britain. I failed to raise the necessary funding before serious illness prevented me from progressing. Still a bit hopeful, but . . . . . . .
With Dawn, the longterm partner of my son, Robert, a few years before my wife Margaret and Robert both died in 2010, she in March and he in August.
