Paternal Grandparents Home

This was the new house that was owned by my paternal grandparents.

This home was the one that my immediate family and many cousins and their families spent visiting dad's parents

Around the very early eighties, my grand parents sold this home to move to Auckland where they spent the rest of their lives.
