Part Two of this story as I found it such an interesting place and took so many photos. The photos I used yesterday and today are only about half of what I took. To see yesterdays story go here.
I spent a pleasant hour in the tea museum. It was such an trove of treasures. Deane was so nice and helpful too.

| When I edited the photo preceding this one I found that the plate in front has a picture of Marine Parade in the very early days on it. I was aware that there use to be houses on both sides of it however until I found this picture I hadnt seen them |
 |
| I had an aha! moment when I saw these. My mother had the tin with the pink label on it. I remember it from my early childhood. |
 |
| Some other information Deane told me a bit about was tea leaf grading and how to find it on a box of tea. |
 |
| Mr Twining himself! |

| A New Zealand ration book |
