A Trip Down South

Greetings from Tininn Lodge - Bed and Breakfast accommodation
in Culverden - twenty minutes drive from Hanmer Springs and ninety minutes drive from Christchurch.

Well I can't believe that we are only three weeks away from Christmas and for the last five nights we have had the fire on.
It has been cold and wet - and do the weeds love it - they seem to be the only things growing!

On the 20th November we travelled down to Twizel to stay with my brother Malcolm and his wife Judy and then on to the Kurow Cemetery to put a headstone on my parents grave where their ashes are interred.

Both my parents James Lousley and Madge Lousley ( but always known as Pat) spent a large part of their lives around Kurow and Otematata so we thought it fitting that they should be in the Kurow Cemetery.





The cemetery is just a few minutes from Kurow and is situated on a small rise overlooking the Waitaki River. Their grave is close to that of Silas Lousley - Dads grandfather - or our great grandfather and just along from the graves of the Camerons.
Some how in my mind it seems appropriate that Mum and Dad are near the Camerons.




There is just a simple plaque listing their dates of birth and death attached to a greywacke rock.





Jim and Pat Lousley's two children Malcolm and Deirdre beside their headstone and grave.
