The “reflections” in this volume
were inspired by the author’s
acquisition of a house in the
splendid isolation of a remote
village surrounded by a scenic
reserve. In Waipori Falls
Village, about an hour's drive
from Dunedin, in South Island,
New Zealand, the author and his
old friend and colleague Dr
Garrett Evans could reflect upon
life, on their experiences in
different parts of the world
where they had lived. This is
followed by the author’s
reflections back in Clashnessie,
his home in the Highlands of
Scotland, followed by his
reflections during the summer of
2008, which he spent at his home
in Nova Scotia. The book, which
encompasses the three locales,
constitutes, in effect, a
“trilocation” portmanteau! All
the reflections, wherever they
are set, were inspired by his
time in Waipori, which began the
whole process.
Also included are a number of
articles by John Kelly, being
memories of the early days in
Waipori Falls Village, at the
time when the hydro-electric
scheme was being constructed in
the valley.
