HALF-WAY UP A RAINBOW
"I've been flying again ... to Nelson and back. It was a rainy day when I went, and it gave me such a nice adventure. - We had a rainbow that seemed to be following us! Yes, it did. It kept up with us for a long way. I've often been reasonably near the foot of a rainbow—but never halfway up, as we were in the plane! Coming back was quite as fascinating in another way. The mountains had lots and lots of cottonwool mist tangled in their hair, and sometimes we looked down on complete 'hills and valleys' of the cottonwool, not a sign of a mountain underneath at all. The Kaikouras glistening in the morning sunlight, were like frozen waves above a soft, woolly sea. I could have stayed up all day with great pleasure! But if I had, I'd have found myself in Sydney instead of Wellington!" "LASSIE." Kelburn.
