As always, there's a story...
The day our friend, Enid, returned from Australia to move into her newly built home, we brought over a picnic supper...
It was Enid, from Australia, who first suggested we have a look at NS, soon after she herself had discovered it.
...Because of that, we both have now been nearby neighbours for 15 years!
...In our group, we're from California, USA, M'ellen is a local descendent of many generations, Enid/Oz, and Gill who came to Lunenburg from Durban, South Africa.
10 days after these photos, Enid's deck was built on and landscaping had begun, but on this day we thought of ourselves as channeling the gentility of yesteryear.
Now tell me, *What do you think the odds were that we should have all been gathered together in this photo?*
Those are splendid rocks in the garden. I would love some like that in my garden. I would need a tractor or a digger loader to get them to my garden, I'm sure I could source some in the surrounding farmlands.
Thanks for that Marnie @golftragic ! Nowadays we all meet up so easily via sites like this, but this was long before all that! That we should come from such far-flung places and be such close friends is quite something I think!
@Weezilou I quite agree with you Louise. We sometimes forget how things were pre-internet. Australia is a long way from anywhere much except New Zealand and have come to value my cyber-friends very much indeed although I may never have the chance to meet folks like you face-to-face. Wouldn't swap living here for anything though!
@kevin365 You're some kind of special, m'friend! As of yesterday, surrounded with family for the coming two weeks! Maybe you might look for those photos in another month or so! (I'm being bent, but I will not break--from this site!)
