Emigrating from Christchurch to Patagonia like Cathy Macleay did in the late 1960s would have been a rare occurrence for anyone in those days, but it had been done before by Cathy's own mother in law, Anne Ensor, in the 1930s. Cathy started out her life in Chile on the family farm of her late husband, Hugh, but now lives on her own in Punta Arenas (which is a gateway to Antarctica), though she has four children and 10 grandchildren all living in Chile to keep her company.
