This is "rural" Kirkby, by Mill Brook. Notice the pack horse bridge sadly gone now and replaced with a steel one.
Taken in 1967 so my kids are all 40 now.
it doesn't snow at all wher i live, although i remember the bad times trying to drive in it i really do miss it, walking home from the alehouse, the snow would absorb any sound, give off light in the darkest of streets and although it was cold gave of a secure warmness, tried to describe it to my kids but "you had to be there" we do have snow further down the north island on the ski fiels but thats a poor substitute for it dropping in you street........... plus when we were kids in the 60's you would get the odd day off school if it was really thick..
