  • Monday 25th February - part 3

     

     

     

    Safely back on terra firma.

    It had been a wonderful flight - only half an hour compared with a 3 hour drive.

    I want one of these machines!!!

    We all sorta milled around and talked

    then the guys carried Tim to his truck.

    The helicopter could've landed at the grave site but the Anson wanted to take his Dad for one last drive on the farm in his old beatup farm truck.

     

    A last family photo.

    So damned hard - family photos are not going to be complete anymore sad

     

    I just wanted to be as close as possible to Tim until the very end so I rode up top with hi.

     

    My two extra daughters.

    I am so grateful for these girls.

    My boys have chosen well.

    I just love the connection in this photo.

     

    Anson - my lovely lovely eldest son, such a precious young man, love you so much!

     

    We set off on our journey along the airstrip.

    Some walked the whole way

    Some drove

     

    The vehicles were all parked up in the tailing yards and everyone walked from there.

     

    Bri, David & Sasha - doing Tim proud.

    Grubbing tauhinau as they walked pleased

    Bri hopped on board with me as we got further along.

     

    In the past I have always walked this part of the farm tracks.

    But today I hung on tight as we wended our way up the hill and over the bumps and hollows, and trusted my son to get us there safely.

    And he did!!
