Remember this? Am just framing this image of mine for a client, and I was reminded of a funny incident recently.
This image of course is Shag Rock out near Sumner. It was taken a few years ago, but looks nothing like that now. It crumbled a little in the September earthquake and was totally demolished in this year's February quake. It now looks like a broken tooth.
My dear mother-in-law saw a photograph in the newspaper of the rock as it is now, pointed to it and said "Oh that's Shag Rock - it really is shagged now, isn't it" and burst out laughing. Her dementia is not so bad some days - and she still has a sense of humour!!!
If you know of anyone wanting a nostalgic image of the rock as she was, I have a selection here at home for them to choose from.
