Victorian Heritage Celebrations | Friday

Oamaru's Victorian Heritage Celebrations are, for me, not a celebration of outdated beliefs, but rather  an appreciation of beauty from the past. 
It's the celebration of the very best of what has been, and a way to remember this beauty as we head into the future. 
For this reason i do not understand those who have a dislike for 'dressing up in old embarrassing clothes and hanging around with those weirdos in the old part of town' because if you cant appreciate how people used to live, then you don't deserve the privilege of modern day comforts. 
 Be grateful for all our ancestors have worked for and achieved, and enjoy the (relatively) easy life we live now.











Fruit Soda and fish tacos at Tees St Cafe. Yeow!
