A Feature of Wellington, But

Today was very windy. I know strong wind is one of the features of Wellington. But today's wind was extraordinary strong. That's why I came [to] this museum to have a seat.

Digging out the milkworms

When I was a kid in the 70's my dad used to play tricks on us. One of his favourites was digging out milkworms (huge foul worms over a metre long and as thick as your finger) from the clay of the hill behind our house. He would the[n] shout 'surprise!' and throw them at our faces. It was terrifying and hilarious at once.

Warmer?

It [Wellington] may be windy but it's warmer than Scotland.

But parking...

Wellington is an awesome place, but parking is expensive :(

Rain rain

Anyone at anytime

My friend & I moved here together in 1995. We fell in love and [are] now married. True love can happen to anyone at anytime - Timothy.

A round trip

60's. Brought up in Khandallah - as a youngster, use to walk with M+D plus brother + sister down Madras St along to Jubalee Rd and down the trk [track] to the main road where we walked to the Wellington railway station and rested with a hot pie/pud (potatoes) + peas, then got the train back to Khandallah and back up Madras St. Often used this way to get Part Time work in Wellington (Hallensteins) on Lambton Quay or visit my grandfather who had an office on Cable Car Lane - fond memories.
 

Passing on the memories

We moved into our first house in Wellington in 2011. That year Wellington had it's first proper snowstorm for over 30 years. We took lots of photos of the house and garden and sent them to the previous owners who now live in Auckland. They had lived in Wellington for 40 years, so the pictures brought back lots of memories.

RNZAF at Shelly Bay

The first time I lived in Wellington was when I was working out at RNZAF Base, Shelly Bay. The ? in being out in the 'burbs' was getting to live and work on the harbour's edge in a 'village-like' community. I remember when the Kahawai would run close to shore, the MT guys could throw their fishinglines out & take their chances - where else!
