Getting Away from it all in Christchurch
Noreen went down to Christchurch last week for the annual Culverden Fete. She went with Janie and Denise and they had a great time doing girly things like shopping, drinking gin and soaking in spas (the trip included an overnight stay in Hanmer). Unfortunately no photos of the trip exist or perhaps I don’t have sufficient security to view them. I went down on Saturday and spent an enjoyable morning helping out in the garden of Janie’s new house.


As a reward we went to one of my favourite pubs for lunch – the Twisted Hop.
The beer we are drinking is a special brew called Bagnold. It is named after the founder of the Long Range Desert Group, a World War 2 unit that was the forerunner of the SAS. It was manned largely by New Zealanders and had a depot near where the brewery is situated.
