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?

Hi there,
Canterbury has been named the fifth most welcoming region in the world in the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards, while Oamaru, Hokitika and Invercargill have been named the most welcoming towns in NZ. They were followed by Cambridge, Picton, Lake Tekapo, Kerikeri, Palmerston North, Paihia and Twizel.
We'd be really keen to hear your thoughts on this based on your own travels around New Zealand. Do you think Canterbury is NZ's most welcoming region? And are these our most welcoming towns?
Where in NZ have you been made to feel particularly welcome on your travels?
As usual, please put 'NFP' in your comment if you don't want it to be included in an article. Cheers.

Hi I am renovating my bathroom soon and have a bath, vanity and electric towel rail to give away if anyone needs to do up a batch or just likes retro bathroom fittings original from the early nineties..
Towel rail and bath are both a peachy colour. Bath is 1665 long, 740 wide and approx. 450 deep. Has leather-look headrest and very comfortable arm rests. There is also a 900mm vanity white colour with two doors and three draws down one side, it has an Aakronite vanity top, very good quality in the day. Towel rail has already been disconnected, bath & vanity will be out soon.

Residents in a quiet Christchurch subdivision are concerned plans to expand a neighbouring shopping centre will lead to dozens of trucks navigating their narrow streets each day.

Developer Glen Percasky is assuring residents this will not happen, but some are still sceptical.

Percasky and his brother, Max, want to more than double the size of the existing 3.5 hectare Homebase on Marshland Rd in Shirley. They have requested an additional 4.8ha of land, which they own, to the north of the centre towards QEII Drive, be rezoned from residential to commercial.

Do you support a potential expansion of the Homebase centre? Why/why not?
