This is the town of Cromwell.Pop:3.5 ooo-ish.Located between Queenstown,Wanaka and Alexandra in the central otago region of the south Island in New Zealand.It is the furthest town from the sea in all NZ,which is saying alot as we are a small island(S) in the the South pacific and are never THAT far from the sea.Cromwell is also the town I was born in.The above photo is how Cromwell looked in the Seventies when I was born,before the Clutha Dam was created,flooding the Clutha+Kawarah rivers and creating what is today Lake Dunstan...The photo at the very top is how the town looks today.How it looked when we wed here and had our two oldest children here.Cromwell is a special place.It has a pull that is irresistable,ask my sister-in-law who upon visiting from South africa met and married a local!They still Live here with their little boy.Cromwell is Home.That's why in august this year we head back there to live.Permanently!We are going to be Country Bumpkins again.Hooray.
Oh yeah...A BIG belated Happy Birthday to our niece Katie for the 8 march.Happy 3 sweetheart!.
