I had a wonderful trip, and got to spend a lot of time with my fellow time travelling friends. Apart from the rain on the Friday, which cancelled the annual Garden Party, and some rain on the Wednesday morning we had good weather – I was mad enough to take photos in the rain (and… Continue reading 2023 Oamaru Victorian Heritage Celebrations

2022 Oamaru Victorian Heritage Celebrations
In November of 2022 I made my ‘annual pilgrimage’ to Oamaru for the Victorian Heritage Celebrations. After the official events were cancelled in 2021 (due to the uncertainty of Covid restrictions), it was really great to see everyone again and to take part in as many events as possible. Not everyone could make it though… Continue reading 2022 Oamaru Victorian Heritage Celebrations
Escape From 2021

Oamaru 2016 Part 1
Wednesday My flight landed a few minutes late and, as always, it took some time to depart the plane and collect my suitcase. I kept an eye out for Liane, in case she had already collected hers from her flight and had wandered down, but my suitcase arrived first. Knowing the airport almost as well… Continue reading Oamaru 2016 Part 1
