Thus far have I come...

On our way back, we stopped in at Kaiwaka & found the cemetery where my great great grandmother, Ann Leslie, nee Bairnson is buried. A remarkable lady, who came here from the Shetland Islands in the mid 1800's & settled at Kaiwaka. This a picture of her headstone. We did see the grave some 20 years ago at a family reunion, but the new stone hadn't been installed then. We both found it a very poignant experience to be there on our own...

And Herself wonders where the stubborn streak comes from....
