Today there were people from Christchurch, the Maldives and Hamilton and from Reefton. Also, this lady, temporarily staying in Westport, came to visit.
Clenda Wockmer, (hope i've spelt that right!), is a (3rd i think) cousin of mine - her grandfather was my great-uncle Bill and we had the same great-grandparents.
Uncle Bill had a grocer's shop, on Buller road in Reefton - now demolished. I actually made the model from a couple of old photos that Clenda's mother, June, sent down. The colours are from memory - i remember it well.
I put a garden out the front, complete with gardener and wheelbarrow etc., because Uncle Bill was a great gardener. Most of that generation of Hunts were - dunno what went wrong there!
Great to see you, Clenda.
