I'm showing my age! Patti Page first sang it in December 1952 - only 62 years ago. I hasten to add I was only a wee lad in shorts then.
These current school holidays we were supposed to head away to the West Coast to visit friends and do some photography. Sadly, we had to cancel, literally at the last minute, due to Chris's Mum breaking her hip, having surgery, and then getting pneumonia. Then having to find her a new home and transfer all her belongings. Not a good time to be away.
So to Plan B........a few day trips in between family commitments. The weather decided to have its say and virtually all plans were likewise cancelled - except for one.
I'd promised Chris lunch over at Lyttelton, one of our favourite places. Yes, it rained yet again but that wasn't an issue today.
The lunch was good - a cafe only opened three weeks ago. The town is slowly but surely coming alive again - and if ideas come to fruition, has a wonderful future. The place to be!!
Following lunch, between a lull in the rain showers, we wandered the streets - and almost immediately came across this cat. Ah, if only I had my big camera instead of the phone camera. The image ~1 second before this one was captured was priceless.

Afternoon tea at 'She Chocolate' in Governor's Bay was pretty good too.
At least we salvaged a little something from the holidays.
