On the weekend I did a solo road trip to New Plymouth
to join my awesome step-dad Steve
and his lovely family
to farewell an amazing man -
my step-grandad
Peter Hargreaves.
It was a privilege to join my extended step-family
on such a special occasion
and meet so many more family members.
During my travels I captured some of what I saw -
some beautiful countryside,
some locals and
some quaint Kiwiana towns.
