| We dropped in on the delightful Jim Chalmers in Christchurch. Jim emailed me a while back saying he was making me a weather vane in the shape of a Concorde and asked if someone would swing by and collect it on my behalf. Picking it up in person seemed a much better idea. Jim treated us to a tour of his garden and morning coffee with his speciality lemon icing filled yo-yos. My aluminum Concorde has G-Heln on its tail (short for Go Helen, says Philip) and will soon grace our garden. |

| Being a novice at show biz, Katharine found it all too much at times |

 |
| Timaru’s Theatre Royal is a precious gem. Thank heavens it has survived and been looked after so well. |

| Theatre Royal manager Alan Shaw tutored our daughter Katharine in the arts of theatre lighting. With his guidance she did the lighting for the show – and now she’s hooked! |
