The upper-class part of the summer when I was a child was going over to Akaroa.  In the 1950s my parents had bought a teeny bach there at the top end of Woodills Rd. It was called Daisy Cottage and stood in the bull's-eye of an orchard with a huge chestnut tree out front. I always remember how Boska, our fox terrier, would bale up possums in the trees.

It was a great drive to Akaroa; it was a distant, isolated community in those days. I recall one time, on the way, there were all these cars stopped at Birdlings Flat. We pulled up and got out, and the whole sky was filled with these awesome lights - it was the Aurora Australis. As a child, it was quite spooky.

Most of the heyday I'd trawl around the hills with a few mates or head over to different bays. We'd be out all day, making tracks or walking up the valley. I call to mind making canoes out of flax and floating them down streams.

Hehe our window dressings set someone back about $50 each for 4 sets of curtains (unending mocha ones from Ikea - to get the duration needed. Got em on ebay as they never seem to have the mocha ones in the accumulate), $20 each for 4 sets of visualize curtain rods, $20 for a kitchenette venetian and about $8 for a bathroom one (it was on extraordinary). Can't be bothered putting anything on the other two windows, they aspect south.
