A day in Geraldine

This is a tribute to my cousin Geraldine...  Geraldine is a small town, a country village, of 3500 people in the central Canterbury.  Geraldine has atmosphere, with majestic old forests, early settlers cottages and little arts and crafts corners.



As you can see, Geraldine  is every where so we had fun riding through the town taking pictures "in" Geraldine.

Other than my cousin, who is Geraldine? Originally called Talbot Forest, Geraldine was renamed FitzGerald in 1857 after the first superintendent of Canterbury, the Irishman Edward FitzGerald. The name was finally changed to Geraldine, which was the FitzGeralds' family name in Ireland.
