Brian.. I met a delightful Mr Hughie Blanchfield who retired to Richmond.. Nelson some 30 years ago.
Im sure if my memory is right.. Hughie told me he was from the Coast and then had a Bakery in Motueka or Takaka and was Paddy's brother.
Does that rin… See More
Bill Garth
Yes Paddy had 2 brothers Hughie and Jack . Jack's son was John from Blanchys fame on TV with David McPhail.

Dot Stewart, I remember you, your parents and mine were great friends, Kath and Albie, your dad and mine worked on the Railways together
Jimmy Jingles In the sixties Mum and Dad owned the Santa Fe Milk Bar..would go to the bakery with Dad early morning and pick up the pies for the shop..images of mixing machines, ovens and rows and rows of raw pastry pies being hand filled with squeeze tubes of mince then covered with a giant slab pastry top, before being individually cut and shovelled into the baking ovens by a man with a white apron and a long wood handled tray...
Neil Wick Was the pick up place for the forestry truck, were able to get our smokes and smoko before we left.
