1 Yesterday we went to Woodend beach and had a lovely day. 1 We 1 left home about 10.30. a.m. and as soon as we arrived daddy and I had a bathe. Then I built a sand-castle for Leonie. From the beach one can see the Port Hills and when the sun was shining the windows of the houses twinkled like little silver stars. —VALERIE BARKER, L.8.H., Woodend.

Father and I walked over to Gpyenor's Bay from Lyttelton. It is eight miles, and we took about two hours and a half to get there. When we were passing Corsair Bay it was high tide, and no one was in the water. We wished we had our costumes with us. . Some, people we knew lent us their canoe, and I had good fun in it. —GORDON GARNER, 41 Clarendon terrace, Radley.

One day in the holidays we went to a farm at Orari. We watched one of the , farm hands take some wee baby pigs to an empty pig-house; then we went into the orchard and ate some ripe fruit. After a, good farm dinner we had an exciting game of French cricket, and then went to see Douglas, Roy’s cousin, repairing the reaper and binder. Having watched Stewart, a farm hand, and Douglas milk the cows, we had a drink of milk from the

cooler, and filling our pockets with apples set out on the journey home. —MAURICE C. SEXTON, 82 Grey road, Timaru.
