January 10, 2022  |  It was time for us to head back to Christchurch today, but before we left Clyde, Dad gave Austin an old (and very heavy!) Austin (car) Coat of Arms, that he's had for many years! 

Even though Austin is not a family name, it does have significance for us.  Dad used to sell Austin cars years ago, and throughout my childhood, Mum even drove a little Austin 1100.
