| Katherine Mansfield's Birthplace in Thorndon and her figure on traffic lights in Wellington. |
A quiet Sunday to myself with the gang at the HSBC Rugby 7's, so I wandered around historic Thorndon starting at the house in Tinakori Road where Katherine Mansfield was born in 1888. She of the short story genre, wrote beautifully of New Zealand and Wellington later in her life when she could appreciate her home country from afar.
The house has been carefully restored and showcases life in the late 19th C here in Wellington and also presents her story which makes for interesting reading, particularly that she interacted with Virginia Woolf of Bloomsbury Group fame in London and also with D H Lawrence.
