Jeff Moss, OSRS, Otago "What do you give your father for his seventieth birthday when he undoubtedly has everything he wants and has a reputation of running on the smell of an oily rag anyway? The artwork above is from the pen of Malcolm Evans, of "Edna" fame. The Hero in the middle will be recognised by hundreds of like-minded sheep people all over New Zealand- a pretty good likeness, you will agree. The opportunity to add the other side of Robin into this bit of history was too good to miss. You will have recognised the face but did you know about all the other things that spin his wheels? The One Stop Ram Shop sign had to go in there. And some sheep. Robin's phobias and dislikes are possibly a bit arse-about-face- he hates paradise ducks (note the smoking gun and the expired duck) and he has always loved spiders (there's one in the tree behind him). And not many grandfathers maintain a lifelong love of frogs either and one of life's joys for Robin is the pursuit of tadpoles and the rearing of copious quantities of fully fledged frogs from that old aquarium that sits outside the front door. The pigs are kune kunes and they have been ever-present in Old MacDonald's yard since Richard brought two back from Hanmer over twenty years ago. The current pair are not the originals, mind you. Rhododendrons and cacti are also important- witness the forest of rhodos that followed Robin from "Tarata" to "Paratu". A labour of love and hopefully not included in his will! And what caricature of RJD would be complete without Ram 4U? It was a second hand purchase in the first place and has been driven all over the country by the bloke who was so bad at teaching his own kids to drive that their mother had to take over the job after just one day. The fact that Ram 4U is automatic has no doubt helped immensely as Robin never really got the hang of clutches or the general order of gears. So it is indeed fitting that both the Old Man and his trusty Old Car have made this significant milestone and we are immensely proud of what he has packed into the forty-odd years we've known him. But what do you give him for his eightieth? A new car?" Richard, Jane and Alastair Takapau 6 Robin Hilson Hawkes Bay Otago Sale Venue Farm Location Homestead
