This picture is my farewell to our family bach at Penzance, made during my last visit just before it was sold. Penzance is a tiny settlement in Tennyson Inlet in the Marlborough Sounds, surrounded by native bush. All of the plants were collected from the bach garden (almost entirely native) or very nearby. It was about 30°C the day I made it, so everything was looking a little tired and dried out (including me) by the time I finished. Goodbye beautiful Penzance, thanks for the lovely memories. (And thanks Glenys, for the photo).
