I've recently spent a couple of days in Wellington, catching up with folk, and walking around the place; from the southern bays to the shops on Lambton Quay and the cemetery at Karori, it was a busy couple of days.

The grave of Harry McNish (one of the explorer's on Shakelton's Endurance) is adorned with a bronze representation of Mrs Chippy - the cat who accompanied the exhibition. Despite the name, Mrs Chippy was discovered to be a male cat, but by then the name had stuck and the tiger-striped tabby retained the nickname.

We were joined on our walk by this beautiful real-life version of Mrs Chippy who lives nearby and reportedly accompanies folk through the graveyard, stopping to be stroked and admired.

What a handsome family! And I see a few lookalikes in the midst. :)
ReplyDeleteNo Kidding! And the fact that Adam looks like his Aunty Katie.

Surley not - I can't believe I ever looked so mischievous. Niece Rachel is surely rocking the Hermione Granger look though, just like her mum!
