Arrowtown looks like a fabulous place to holiday at, so very picturesque. I like reading about your holidays, your photos are lovely, I can imagine myself in every scene.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-35254017775934853492014-05-01T06:35:59.070+08:002014-05-01T06:35:59.070+08:00I love these photos!!!!!

That place could be anywhere in the Highlands!<br /><br />Lovely memories to have Mimsie.

Mining is a hard life.<br />I suspect that they meant you to treat those jumpers with lanolin - which I have never liked because it gives a greasy feel.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
