The Pear Orchard
A friends sister died recently , She died in New Zealand too young . I was twelve when she was born and had lived with their family for a while and her Mother who also died very young was an important and kind person in my young life .
I know that there is an old pear orchard out on the west coast of New Zealand , I have never been there but I know it is a venerable old Orchard and close by the sea ,I like to imagine them both there now happy together reunited .
