A fascinating trip down memory lane in a New Zealand seaside town. The young people in the mid 20th century made the most of outdoor leisure time on the rivers and wonderful white sand beaches. The author recalls how mother shopped at the grocery store before the time of supermarkets. As she read from her shopping list the grocer put each item on his counter. Afternoon movies were a staple form of entertainment for the young people; they enjoyed the antics of The Three Stooges and wondered at the speed of Roy Roger's horse, Trigger. The book recounts many humorous memories, as well as telling of food restrictions following the 2nd World War. The author graduated as a teacher in 1958 and tells of her experiences teaching in a small country school.
