Well John we have more things in common than you and i may have thought ,That our forebears came out to New Zealand on the same ship leaving Graves End London on the HMS Gertrude ... In those days life was what you made of it and our G.G Grandfather had a farm at Karori, and a farm in Fielding apart from the Denbigh Hotel , later my grandfather had a cowshed built on the land he had purchased originally for the trees that were milled... My father and his brother first milked the herd by hand later yes they had a milking plant set up in the shed thanks to your Grandfather . I had a Alpha Laval plant put into my cow shed on the farm in Levin.
