This is attached to the little Mt Peel Chapel and goes back several hundred years. As usual it hides untold stories- three stones for three Russians, an unknown man who drowned in the river in 1889, numerous members of the Acland family of all ages, a man who was a partner of the minister for 25 years in the early 1900's! We even found the grave here of Dame Ngaio Marsh, a famous NZ author! A beautiful and quiet place.
Three good things
1. We were the only alive people there.
2. A wide and beautiful view down a lonely river valley here.
3. A nice cup of coffee at the local and only store served by a grumpy lady.
Graveyards have such stories to tell.......i never find them sad places though....this one looks a beautiful resting place. I always marvel at the Maori ones.....they can be quite high up can't they?
This is really nice- love how both of you (assuming that's you in the yellow and the camera was on a timer) are contemplating on the names- thoughtful, respectful and still imaginative.
