So, to start off with, I am so oober excited that it is less that a week that, my Family and I, will begin our decent to cromwell in the South Island! It's the first time I will have a christmas and actually feel as though I'm on holiday! Ah 'twill be an experience, spending christmas with my Fathers Parents, good ol' Gran'ma and Gran'pa, Being British an' all as well as very old and very argument prone, It's the classic christmas sit-com! The last time I saw G-ma and G-pa was.. Uh.. two years ago, I would hate to think how much taller I am than G-ma now. Although Their Arguments can lead to hidden laughter, G-ma and G-pa have a really amazing Life story. G-pa was a bomber in the second world war, Now most of the time Bomber's had a 14 day life expectancy, Grand-dad managed near a year, the stuff he did, not only avoiding anti aircraft but dropping bombs on cities and towns, after the war G-pa was assigned to teach the new student flyers, He did this for quite some time, and then decided to settle in the wellington suburb Hatiti. G-ma was an ambulance driver, but before that she was studying art at oxford, now this is the 1930's and women weren't ment to study at high class universities, so when they read out the name John Ross-baily, she stood up and said "actually it's JOAN Ross-baily" Being only 5'3
naturally people were very patronizing, but G-ma's fiery persona soon earned the respect of every tutor and pupil, despite her height issues. There is more on G-ma and G-pa but I haven't had a chance to talk to them fully about it, so more on that later! Yeah anyway CROMWELL PEOPLE it's really beautiful down there, No-one for miles (ten minutes atleast) Hills Eying their shadows as they bore their hundred year old judgemental looks at you, It's really, really nice! you should go sometime nothing much else has been happening
Uh well I shall speak more in my next blog 'coz it's tea time and I'm hungry!
Cherio!
