One of the great joys of coming to live in Christchurch is meeting up with people who I knew only in passing during my 50 odd years in the North Island. Beatrice and Fred Bouterey, I first meet over thirty years ago. On October 26th they celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary. One of their family took this picture of them with the certificate of the Papal Blessing.
It is great when families get together. At a barbeque recently, a guest, John Shortall brought out a bag of lollies for a "lolly scramble". I suspect that the Kutyn children had the 'home team' advantage.
People in the North Island ask me if we get whitebait in the two
(dare I say "little") rivers that meander through Christchurch. Here is a photo I took Yesterday of a "whitebaiter"; I don't think that he was catching much.
Around the corner from our place is a sports park where people like to give their dogs a run. In this photo people are also playing 'Touch Rugby', which is a popular summertime sport in New Zealand.
