This particular area just near to where we live has a major history we don't want to forget. There are several major properties here:
"The average Alps to Ocean-er doesn't know it, but they are traversing the invisible intersection of North Otago's rural past, a crossroads of four enormous land holdings: Windsor Park, Elderslie, Burnside and Corriedale (now nothing more than the name of a breed of sheep), once employer, educator, church raiser and social worker and social hub for hundreds of families, ghosts now, breathed new life thanks to this most unlikely transportation in an area known for horse breeding (Phar Lap was sired at Elderslie)"
One wonderful old house was burnt to the ground but these old oaks remain.
Thankful for:
A wonderful few days away and its all about supporting the local community.
I feel the road should be between these trees...perhaps it was once & then was too narrow so they moved it over rather than cut down those lovely trees.
@happypat Don't know about the road, Pat - always been there. Built in the days when ladies in long dresses smoked cigarettes and flapped their fans at gorgeous young men in spats!
