But Lanagan, an enthusiastic gardener from an early age, started planting a garden anyway.
So when they bought the old stationmaster’s house in nearby Kaiapoi several years later and relocated it to the block – the garden had already begun.
“It’s definitely a house in a garden,” says Lanagan. “We’re not really indoor people so you mostly find us outside.”
It’s easy to see why. A 3-metre wide wooden verandah spans the length of the house, its wooden ceiling made from the repurposed sarking from the original roof. It’s punctuated with skylights to allow natural daylight and there are lights for the nighttime. There’s a serving hatch and wooden bar by the kitchen window and a green couch and chairs surround a coffee table against the backdrop of pale green weatherboards.

PGG Wrightson Real Estate has listed for sale Omihi Creek, a 116-hectare property in Hurunui, pushing its water bottling potential.
“[It] affords astute purchasers the option to diversify and to spread their income streams across a range of ventures,’’ the advertisement reads. “Take advantage of the water bottling opportunity on offer.’’
The Omihi Creek consent allows for 524,667cum of water to be taken each year – the equivalent of 210 Olympic swimming pools, or 525 million litre bottles of water.
The water can be used for irrigation and commercial water bottling. The property was initially given consent to take water in 2006, although no water has been bottled to date and has since been run as a blackcurrant venture.

Parents they spoke to encouraged them to get her into intensive therapy, and the family tries to visit the Timmermans Method Therapy Clinic in Adelaide once or twice a year, finances permitting. There, Amaria receives three-hour one-on-one therapy sessions a day for three weeks, and while exhausting for her, the results are paying off.
The Emerys said the main hope for Amaria was to get her walking, something they work on with her through her therapy exercises each day. They are optimistic of a medical answer for the condition in the future.
But their immediate goal is to conquer a half-marathon in Queenstown later this month – a challenge they have been trying to get over the line for some time. A Givealittle page has been set up for anyone wanting to support the runners, and in turn Amaria’s family which includes sisters Arabella, 8, and Alessandra, 7.
