May I recommend a jaunt to Oamaru?  Home to Oamaru Stone and Steam Punk?  Ancestral home of my Lane family of Lane's emulsion fame...  Maybe time to bring it back to help 'Forge a shield of Vital Strength'  though I don't think it tasted very nice...


So sunny Oamaru?  as an alternative to Timaru - same ending - more fun?  ;)

How cool GailS - and sorry to your sister  ;)  I found a site about the cool things to do in Oamaru:

Looks gorgeous and tranquil. But I agree with Althea, lots of offers of places to stay on TradeMe - see what tickles your fancy :D
