Do you know the Christchurch 'kite lady'?
A suburban park with a feather of warm wind carving a wave in the grass and a view of Christchurch's Port Hills beyond. A handful of string tightly held. Eyes skyward and a kite delicately dancing in mid-air.
Julie Adam has spent a lifetime enjoying these whimsical pleasures. Many know her simply as “the kite lady”.
“I have been flying kites about 60 years,” she says. “There's a picture of me in my pram with a kite tied to it.”
Do you recognise Julie from her kite-flying?
Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?
Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
