Green-thumbed Peter’s<br />
achievements grow<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
IT ISN’T cheap to maintain<br />
an award-winning garden<br />
each year, particularly in a<br />
city teeming with fierce and<br />
passionate competitors.<br />
Northwood resident Peter<br />
Lawrence is no stranger to<br />
the Christchurch Beautifying<br />
Association summer garden<br />
competition and has worked<br />
what felt like “<strong>25</strong> hours a day”<br />
maintaining his $10,000 garden.<br />
Many hours and early mornings<br />
have now paid off as he<br />
has taken out 11 awards at the<br />
annual competition this year.<br />
Regarded as one of the city’s<br />
best gardeners, it was not his<br />
first win – he even has a trophy<br />
named after him for the rest<br />
home and retirement village<br />
category and has claimed nearly<br />
100 awards since he started<br />
competing in 1974.<br />
But taking home the premier<br />
garden award this year, or the<br />
Ruske Cup, was an achievement<br />
he was most proud of.<br />
Said Lawrence: “It’s overwhelming<br />
really, there are some<br />
lovely gardens out there. Hopefully,<br />
it brings some pleasure to<br />
other people by looking at it.<br />

garden competition.<br />

“The premier is the ultimate<br />
award really, so it felt good to<br />
get [it].”<br />
This year alone he planted<br />
7500 plants, including marigolds,<br />
petunias and begonias.<br />
His backyard oasis also features<br />
a glass-like water fountain,<br />
sculptures and a perfectlytrimmed<br />
lawn.<br />
Lots of bedding was involved,<br />
he said. •Turn to page 4<br />

Pupils prepare gardens for festival<br />
PLANTS, FLOWERS and<br />
vegetables are sprouting at<br />
schools across the city as they<br />
finalise their designs for the<br />
Grow Ōtautahi garden festival<br />
next month.<br />
The St Margaret’s College<br />
junior school, Banks Avenue<br />
School and four others will<br />
be taking part in the Rātā<br />
Foundation School Gardens<br />
exhibitions at the three-day<br />
festival.<br />
It comes after the event was<br />
cancelled last year due to the<br />
Covid-19 pandemic.<br />
Pupils have been sharing<br />
unique stories of their communities<br />
by creating special gardens.<br />
The Rātā Foundation School<br />
Gardens celebrate the best of the<br />
local environment, with a view<br />
to sustainability and education.<br />
Festival director Sandi MacRae<br />
said she was impressed at the<br />
work and detail in the school<br />
gardens.<br />
“What I’m seeing in the leadup<br />
to the event is really blowing<br />
me away. The schools are not<br />
only creating wonderful reflections<br />
of their local communities,<br />
they’re also weaving the work<br />
into their learning with a focus<br />
on community, sustainability,<br />
creativity and celebrating our<br />
environment,” she said.<br />
SPROUTING: Pupils across the city, including at the St Margaret’s College junior school, have<br />
been preparing to show off their unique gardens at the Grow Ōtautahi festival next month.<br />
PHOTO: NEWSLINE <br />
“The plants are growing well<br />
and I can’t wait to see them onsite<br />
in the Christchurch Botanic<br />
Gardens.<br />
“The commitment of the<br />
teachers, children and local<br />
communities involved is inspirational,<br />
and I know visitors to<br />
the festival will be delighted with<br />
what they have created.”<br />
Rātā Foundation chief executive<br />
Leighton Evans said the festival<br />
provided a unique opportunity<br />
to celebrate the Garden City<br />
while increasing environmental<br />
awareness.<br />
It also supported educating<br />
children about sustainable growing<br />
practices.<br />
“The Rātā Foundation School<br />
Gardens provide a pathway for<br />
building the next generation of<br />
gardeners and eco-warriors,”<br />
said Evans.<br />
The Grow Ōtautahi Christchurch<br />
Garden Festival Trust is<br />
closely monitoring the national<br />
Covid-19 situation, following<br />
all advice from the Government<br />
and will respond “swiftly” to any<br />
changing circumstances.<br />
Said MacRae: “We are all<br />
focused on the task at hand and<br />
gearing-up to welcome people to<br />
the first-ever Grow Ōtautahi. This<br />
has always included a sharp focus<br />
on public safety and we’ll have<br />
appropriate hygiene and healthrelated<br />
processes in place.”<br />
In Brief<br />
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED<br />
The Child Cancer Foundation<br />
is seeking street collectors for<br />
its annual appeal. Two shifts<br />
each day will be available on<br />
Friday and Saturday. The St<br />
John of God Halswell Trust is<br />
also seeking a musician to play<br />
music for its residents once a<br />
month on weekdays between<br />
11am to noon, or 1-3pm. The<br />
trust provides support for people<br />
with disabilities. A piano is<br />
available to use, or you can take<br />
your own instrument. For more<br />

BUS LANE TRIAL STARTS<br />
A priority bus lane trial on<br />
Cranford St between Innes Rd to<br />
Berwick St starts tomorrow. The<br />
layout and design were approved<br />
at the latest Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board. The trial will<br />
last for three months and traffic<br />
monitoring will also take place.<br />
The lane will operate during<br />
peak times in the morning and<br />
afternoon. The trial will determine<br />
whether the lane is needed<br />
or if other traffic mitigation<br />
will be better suited due to the<br />
new Christchurch Northern Motorway<br />
bringing more cars into<br />
the area. An independent expert<br />
will report back to the board to<br />
provide the best solution for the<br />
transport network.<br />

Bringing about happiness fuels passion further<br />
• From page 1<br />
“Majority of it is planting the<br />
garden out – that’s the hardest<br />
work. Now it’s just managing it,<br />
keeping the water up and mowing<br />
the lawns,” said Lawrence.<br />
The recent water restrictions<br />
imposed by the city council during<br />
summer, which were lifted earlier<br />
this month, proved a challenge<br />
when it came to maintaining water<br />
levels.<br />
Like all residents, he was restricted<br />
to using hoses and sprinklers on<br />
alternate days and could not use<br />
water between certain hours. In<br />
spite of this, his garden came out of<br />
the season unscathed.<br />
Said Lawrence: “I managed to<br />
work around that – I had to get up<br />
earlier in the morning and put the<br />
hoses on, it was a bit inconvenient<br />
but never mind.”<br />
Bringing about happiness in<br />
the community with his unique<br />
designs fuelled the passion further,<br />
but it was not the only reason why<br />
he delved into the world of horticulture<br />
to begin with.<br />
“My grandfather was a very good<br />
gardener,” said Lawrence.<br />
“I couldn’t play competitive sport,<br />
so I took my frustrations out on the<br />
garden.”<br />
Lawrence said the nature of his<br />
previous work also played a part<br />
in the growth of his talent as the<br />
former funeral director of Academy<br />
Funeral Services.<br />
Although he was semi-retired, he<br />
was still a contractor at the home.<br />
In spite of being a veteran competition<br />
winner, Lawrence has never<br />
been met with tension or hostility<br />
by other keen horticulturists who<br />
strived to live up to the Garden City<br />
image as much as he did.<br />
As well as hard work, the key to<br />
success, he said, was putting your<br />
own stamp on your garden.<br />
“My style of gardening may not<br />
be like other people. One of the<br />
gardens was full of succulents, it<br />
was beautiful,” he said.<br />
“Carry on with your passion,<br />
you never know what’s around the<br />
corner.”<br />

Russley village garden reaps the rewards<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
HARD WORK, dried blood, and<br />
“lots and lots of water.”<br />
According to The Russley<br />
Village head gardener Shearon<br />
Holmes, that’s what it takes to<br />
run a garden worthy of awards<br />
at the Christchurch Beautifying<br />
Association summer garden<br />
competition.<br />
This year the village won<br />
a number of awards in the<br />
commercial and residential<br />
categories, including the A A<br />
Lawrence Challenge Memorial<br />
and the Peter Lawrence<br />
Challenge trophies.<br />
The village has Holmes and<br />
gardener Amanda<br />
Riordan to thank for<br />
its success in planning,<br />
planting, pruning and<br />
watering thousands<br />
of plants on the 8ha<br />
property.<br />
Said Holmes: “We are<br />
once again so proud to<br />
win the premier cup, all<br />
our hard work has paid<br />
off as we take such pride<br />
in the beautiful Russley<br />
gardens.<br />
“We’re very proud the<br />
residents take such pride<br />
in their own gardens as<br />
well.”<br />
Holmes has been the principal<br />
gardener at the retirement village<br />
for more than four years and<br />
takes pride in managing the<br />
gardens.<br />
PRIDE: Resident<br />
Ruvae Britten, 90,<br />
still loves to potter<br />
about her garden,<br />
which won the<br />
McMaster Cup for<br />
a non-conventional<br />
garden of modern<br />
style.<br />
A passion for gardening<br />
at home eventually<br />
turned into a paid, fulltime<br />
gig.<br />
“The whole village is looking<br />
beautiful at the moment. You<br />

cherry trees to the bowling green<br />
where the impatiens are all glowing;<br />
the rhododendrons [are] so<br />
pretty,” she said.<br />
“I love the front entrance at<br />
the moment on Roydvale Ave,<br />
it’s quite eye-catching with impatiens,<br />
begonias, nice cut hedges<br />
and beautiful white roses.”<br />
Across the whole village, there<br />
were about 850 roses alone.<br />
Spending up on plants and<br />
material added up – more than<br />
$<strong>25</strong>00 was spent on bedding<br />
plants during spring and summer,<br />
and plants like rhododendrons,<br />
azaleas and camellias<br />
were about $30 to $40 each.<br />
But it was all worth it in the<br />
end.<br />
“It’s very satisfying at the end<br />
of the day to turn around and see<br />
what you’ve done,” said Holmes.<br />
The gardeners faced challenges<br />
beyond their control last year<br />
due to Covid-19 as well as battling<br />
the summer elements.<br />
“Last year during Covid we<br />
had lots of trouble getting plants.<br />
The weather has been really<br />
funny because the plants weren’t<br />
doing that good before Christmas,”<br />
she said.<br />
“We asked a few nurseries and<br />
they said it was because we didn’t<br />
have enough sun, it was cloudy<br />
all the time; then we had those<br />
horrible winds. That was a challenge<br />
for us as it whips and dries<br />
the garden out.”<br />
Holmes has always been a keen<br />
gardener; considering it to be her<br />
only hobby. It started out with<br />
seedlings and cuttings before it<br />
became a passion.<br />
“It’s good therapy, it’s good to<br />
get your hands in and feel the<br />
soil, to be out in the fresh air and<br />
buy plants to make the garden<br />
look beautiful.”<br />

Readers respond to the<br />
proposed Wheels to<br />
Wings cycleway<br />
In contrast to most of the<br />
commenters on the issue<br />
of the proposed cycleway, I<br />
am very much in favour of a<br />
new cycleway and also, more<br />
importantly, of the other<br />
proposed changes, ie the traffic<br />
lights at the Greers Rd corner,<br />
the pedestrian crossings at the<br />
Bishopdale roundabout and the<br />
reduction from four lanes to two<br />
lanes.<br />
All of these changes will make<br />
Harewood Rd a whole lot safer<br />
along its full length for everyone,<br />
including myself. I am a cyclist,<br />
pedestrian, bus user and car<br />
driver who makes frequent<br />
use of Harewood Rd. – Alan<br />
Tunnicliffe<br />
These changes are ridiculous,<br />
everyone enjoys the atmosphere<br />
at Copenhagen Bakery and<br />
the parking is essential for<br />
customers.<br />
Also when we see cycleways<br />
being given priority over car<br />
lanes, hardly any cyclists are seen<br />
on these new lanes.<br />
We have lived in the area for<br />
over 20 years and Harewood Rd<br />
is very busy and to turn from<br />
either Breens Rd or Gardiners<br />
Rd left or right without two lanes<br />
will prove near impossible.<br />
I would like to object to these<br />
changes. – Lorraine Rayner<br />
I oppose the Wheels to Wings<br />
cycleway in its proposed format.<br />
Instead, I would suggest the<br />
cycleway be put in the middle<br />
of Harewood Rd from where<br />
the two cycleways meet at<br />
approximately Matsons Ave<br />
going west. The cycleway should<br />
be in the middle of the road<br />
up through the middle of the<br />
Bishopdale roundabout and<br />
continue in the centre of the<br />
road up to where it was to go<br />
to the left side of Harewood Rd<br />
west of Croftons Rd. It would<br />
be a shared pedestrian/cycleway<br />
to Whitechurch Pl where it<br />
goes under Johns Rd. The<br />
present islands in the centre of<br />
Harewood Rd from Greers Rd to<br />
Breens/Gardeners are just over<br />
4m wide – enough for a double<br />

Businesses<br />

will lose car<br />

All roads leading onto<br />
Harewood Rd except Breens/<br />
Gardiners, Highstead/<br />
Farrington and Greers Rds<br />
intersections should be left turn<br />
only, in or out.<br />
Controlled crossings for<br />
pedestrians should be placed<br />
on Matsons Ave where the<br />
cycleway goes to the centre<br />
of Harewood, another at<br />
approximately Wilmot St at<br />
both ends of the Bishopdale<br />
roundabout, another between<br />
Leacroft and Cotswold Ave and<br />
the place where the cycleway<br />
goes to the south side of<br />
Harewood Rd past Croftons<br />
Rd.<br />
The cycleway should be fenced<br />
on both sides. This would<br />
stop any traffic or pedestrians<br />
crossing the cycleway except at<br />
controlled points.<br />
This plan would leave most if<br />
not all the parking on Harewood<br />
Rd and leave the two lanes as is<br />
now. – Brian Breen.<br />
Online store next step for<br />
specialist footwear shop<br />
Just over a year since the doors first opened, The<br />
Shoe Room in Upper Riccarton is about to launch<br />
a new service for customers – an online store.<br />
Owned by podiatrist Charlotte Russell, who<br />
also owns and operates the podiatry clinic Feet<br />
First, The Shoe Room was part of the clinic<br />
before increasing demand for fashionable,<br />
functional footwear prompted her to open the<br />
specialist shop in December 2019.<br />
“The online store is the next ‘big thing’ for<br />
us, and it means that a much wider customer<br />
base will have access to our extensive range,”<br />
Charlotte says.<br />
Customers logging on to the online store will<br />
find photographs of the shoes taken from every<br />
angle as well as information on the designs and<br />
materials used to make them. A size guide on<br />
the website shows how to measure feet, which<br />
Charlotte encourages people to use so they can<br />
be sure of ordering the right size.<br />
The Shoe Room stocks a number of leading<br />
international footwear brands, and the range has<br />
recently been extended with the addition of the<br />
popular Ziera brand. Also, in addition to Propét,<br />
the store now stocks the Dr Comfort range of<br />
medical footwear.<br />
While The Shoe Room’s main focus is on<br />
women’s footwear, the men’s range is also being<br />
expanded, Charlotte says.<br />
Business has grown steadily over the last 12<br />
months, both through word of mouth and with<br />
customers returning to purchase second and<br />
third pairs of shoes, which Charlotte says is<br />
largely due to the service her staff provides.<br />
“That’s our point of difference. Shop manager<br />
Maxine and shop assistant Carol are very friendly<br />
and welcoming and are able to build a rapport<br />
with customers by providing that all-important<br />
personal service and making sure customers get<br />
shoes that fit correctly, are comfortable and look<br />
nice on their feet.”<br />
The Shoe Room’s online store will go live in<br />
<strong>February</strong>, a fitting complement to the physical<br />
store, which is located at Unit 3, 355 Riccarton<br />
Road, opposite the Lone Star.<br />
Opening hours are Monday 10am-5.30pm,<br />
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 9.30am-5.30pm,<br />
Thursday 9.30am-5.30pm with late night<br />
Tuesday by appointment only, Saturday 10am-<br />
4pm. However, the online store will be open 24/7.<br />
The Shoe Room looks forward to meeting all of<br />
your footwear requirements.<br />

SLICE OF PARADISE AT NGAIO MARSH<br />
Noel and Dorothy have found a slice of<br />
paradise at Ngaio Marsh Retirement Village.<br />
Their townhouse is tucked down a little<br />
garden bordered laneway and it’s only a<br />
few steps away from the village centre and<br />
other amenities<br />
The couple moved into their home in June<br />
and called on their family and friends to help<br />
move their chosen possessions into the twobedroom<br />
townhouse that has a real feeling<br />
of privacy.<br />
They married 22 years ago, in second<br />
marriages, having met through the Chapel<br />
Street Centre Methodist Church. However,<br />
they were both originally from the West<br />
Coast, Noel from Hokitika and Dorothy<br />
from Westport.<br />
Noel had also coincidentally known<br />
Dorothy’s family while living on the<br />
West Coast including her brother and sisters.<br />
But individually they moved to Canterbury<br />
in the late 50s/early 60s.<br />
The couple both have three children<br />
from their previous marriages. While on<br />
the coast Dorothy started a career as a<br />
kindergarten teacher.<br />
Noel too was a teacher, but at primary<br />
school level within Canterbury, and one of<br />
his higher positions was principal of Russley<br />
School. They both loved their teaching<br />
careers, enjoyed international travel together<br />
and also share a passion for the<br />
Methodist Church.<br />
While they attended Chapel St together,<br />
they also happened to live in the same<br />
street, Sapphire Street, in Casebrook/<br />
Bishopdale. After they married Dorothy<br />
moved into Noel’s house where they enjoyed<br />
life including their regular pursuits, which<br />
included gardening.<br />
While Ngaio Marsh has its own team of<br />
talented gardeners, Noel admits he still likes<br />
to keep his hand in, with the gardens close to<br />
their townhouse.<br />
While they moved in the middle of 2020 -<br />
well after the start of COVID-19 - they say<br />
the pandemic had nothing to do with their<br />
search for a new home. It was just the right<br />
time to think about the future. “We’d reached<br />
the time when it was right, and it was while<br />
we were able to do it ourselves,” Noel says.<br />
Following a search, they agreed that Ngaio<br />
Marsh was the perfect option, and they now<br />
love the fact they can stay in contact with<br />
the circle of friends that live outside the<br />
village gates, as well as the new friends they<br />
have made inside.<br />
Noel still drives to Morrison Ave Bowling<br />
Club, where he is Club Patron and has been<br />
a member since before he retired at the age<br />
Tuesday 2 March, 2pm<br />
of 60. He also likes to play at the Ngaio Marsh<br />
green, with other residents, on Tuesday and<br />
Saturday afternoons.<br />
Dorothy says she too has favourite activities<br />
within the village, including the regular<br />
Triple A exercise classes and being able to<br />
get together with other residents for events<br />
such as market days and family fun days.<br />
Ngaio Marsh amenities include the allweather<br />
bowling green, an indoor heated<br />
swimming pool, spa, atrium, library, gym, hair<br />
salon, bar, shop and croquet lawn. It is close<br />
to Northlands Mall and the Papanui shops.<br />
Sales Advisor Danielle Numan says the<br />
village always welcomes enquiries for those<br />
wanting to look at townhouses or serviced<br />
apartments. Residents love the open layout<br />
of the village, which has a lovely stream and<br />
bridge to highlight the prize-winning gardens.<br />
Noel and Dorothy say they love the “very<br />
attractive” gardens and the community of<br />
people but add they are still independent<br />
and out and about.<br />
The staff and individual team members are<br />
always so helpful and friendly to residents<br />
like themselves, the couple add.<br />

“My painting process usually<br />
begins with a single object.<br />
Following several preparatory<br />
sketches. I then start the<br />
process of adding other images,<br />
as well as fabricated bits and<br />
pieces. Using a combination of<br />
fabricated tromp l’oeil paper<br />
objects and the underlying<br />
painted surface, I hope to<br />
create work that is both<br />
completely familiar and yet<br />
new again. Like life itself, each<br />
work resonates with both the Black on Black - John Emery<br />
story and history associated with some objects, and the<br />
imagined potential of others. As an American down under<br />
for more than 37 years, I realise I have become addicted<br />
to the Southern Latitudes and the continuously changing<br />
landscape of New Zealand. The bounteous flora, fauna,<br />
landscape and weather provide a rich smorgasbord of<br />
images, never static.”<br />
Martin Cole<br />
Martin Cole’s interest and<br />
pleasure of the natural<br />
world direct his themes and<br />
his environmental concerns<br />
led him to work with found<br />
materials. His artworks,<br />
referred to as assemblages,<br />
Huia - Martin Cole<br />
depicted. Cole’s insects, birds and frogs come to life formed<br />
from objects of a previous life, a doorknob, coin or cutlery.<br />
Varying metals are skilfully welded together creating<br />
interesting patinas and textures.<br />
He studied Fine Arts at East Sydney<br />
Technical College in 1989 and has been<br />
working with metal for around 8 years<br />
and lives in Lyttelton.<br />
Mark Dimock<br />
Mark’s 3D pieces are made from found<br />
materials. Old fence posts, provide the<br />
timber for his bird bodies and rusted<br />
steel form the wings and details. Pieces<br />
of abandoned farm equipment have<br />
sculptural qualities that are well used to<br />
support the birds and form conceptual<br />
contrast and physical support for<br />
the sculptures. Mark has great skill<br />
mimicking the natural stance and<br />
movement of birds on the wing and as<br />
they alight.<br />
Mark Dimock has been living and<br />
working in Eketahuna since 1980<br />
where he has established a large studio<br />

He has exhibited widely in<br />

Classmates celebrate 80 years of friendship<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
NEARLY EIGHT decades<br />
have passed since the Opawa<br />
School class of 1949 said their<br />
final goodbyes to the place that<br />
brought about many years of joy.<br />
It might have been goodbye to<br />
school, but not so much to each<br />
other. Now in their 80s, a handful<br />
of former pupils still meet for<br />
an annual potluck lunch, but this<br />
year’s reunion was a special one.<br />
Thirteen gathered at the<br />
McLeans Island Camping<br />
Ground pavilion this month to<br />
celebrate primer 1s 80th year of<br />
friendship since 1941.<br />
Former pupil Eleanor<br />
Gillespie, of St Albans, usually<br />
organises the reunions and<br />
believed a former teacher, who<br />
taught their class for four years,<br />
was responsible for their long<br />
friendship.<br />
“We put that down to a teacher<br />
we had from standard 1 to 4, he<br />
held that class together like a<br />
family. He wasn’t married and<br />
didn’t have a family of his own,”<br />
she said.<br />
“He was a good teacher. He<br />
spent a lot of time with us, he<br />
used to take us to Lyttelton on<br />
the train, we did monthly walks<br />
over the Bridal path and he used<br />
to take the boys out for weekends<br />
to a bach in Waikuku.<br />
“They were like his sons.”<br />
The class comprised of about 50<br />
Back row: Murray Walker, 87, of Akaroa, Ross Wynn, 86, of Broomfield, Barry Tewnion, 85,<br />
of Yaldhurst, Barry Hayes, 84, of Casebrook and Brian Brenner, 84, of Akaroa. Middle row:<br />
Mary Johns (nee Parnell), 84, of Middlepark, Joyce Walker (nee Evans), 85, of Akaroa, David<br />
Close, 84, of South New Brighton and Rosemary Harper (nee Lane), 84, of Papanui. Front<br />
row: Jeannette Searle (nee Wise), 84, of Rangiora, Eleanor Gillespie (nee Bamford), 84, of St<br />
Albans and Valerie Percy (nee Shipp), 84, of Shirley. <br />
students who all walked or biked<br />
to school, even in the snow. The<br />
days were split in half, from 9am<br />
to noon, then 1pm to 3pm.<br />
Every week the pupils took a<br />
tram to Sydenham School where<br />
the boys took woodwork classes<br />
and the girls learned how to cook.<br />
“My favourite days were sports<br />
days, I loved basketball and I was<br />
a good swimmer,” said Gillespie.<br />
World War 2 was well involved<br />
by the time Gillespie started<br />
school, but as a child, life did not<br />
feel that way.<br />
No one came to school without<br />
lunch, but having suitable clothing<br />
was another story.<br />
Said Gillespie: “I think we all<br />
went through hardships, there<br />
were a lot of families that had<br />
hardships with clothes. I remember<br />
the blackouts at school, we<br />
had to have our curtains across<br />
the windows during the war.<br />
“But when you’re in that situation<br />
you don’t realise they’re<br />
hardships.”<br />
Gillespie later attended Avonside<br />
Girls’ High School along<br />
with two other classmates from<br />
Opawa.<br />
Many of the boys went on to<br />
own their own businesses, became<br />
teachers and missionaries,<br />
and two were Rhode scholars at<br />
Christchurch Boy’s High School.<br />
Former pupil Barry Dineen<br />
notably became the New Zealand<br />
managing director for Shell<br />
until 1995 and David Close edited<br />
a book chronicling stories of<br />
“The Class of 1941” and the lives<br />
that followed.<br />
But young women at the time<br />
did not have much choice in the<br />
career department. Gillespie did<br />
not know of any girls who went<br />
to university.<br />
They were given two options<br />
– working in an office or life at<br />
home.<br />
Gillespie decided to take<br />
shorthand typing lessons and<br />
eventually worked as a typist for<br />
advertising agencies.<br />
“You didn’t get a choice like<br />
this day and age.”<br />
Since leaving school the class<br />
stayed in touch, more so in the<br />
past two decades. Opawa School<br />
had its 100th anniversary in<br />
1997, where it was decided that<br />
the class would do their own<br />
reunions from then on.<br />
“Each time I think that I can’t<br />
do this anymore, I’ve suddenly<br />
got the energy [to organise it],”<br />
Gillespie said.<br />

Creative storage ideas to help declutter your life<br />
Do you feel tired of spending hours<br />
trying to find your clothes, shoes or<br />
other daily essentials in your home?<br />
Sometimes you may feel as though you<br />
are drowning in material possessions<br />
yet cannot bring yourself to throw any<br />
of them away. Get inspired, with these<br />
creative and practical ways to simplify<br />
your life and give your home the<br />
essence of more space.<br />
In your entryway<br />
A neat and tidy entranceway is<br />
beneficial, as it is the first thing that<br />
visitors will see when they enter your<br />
home. Also, it is where you scramble<br />
to grab your shoes, hats and any other<br />
accessories as you rush out the door.<br />
If there are multiple people living in<br />
your home, one great way to organise<br />
all of your belongings at the front door<br />
is to convert an old bookshelf/storage<br />
unit into DIY lockers featuring hooks<br />
for hats and coats and shelves at the<br />
bottom for shoes and sports gear. You<br />
can even label these ‘lockers’ with each<br />
person’s name. If you want to create<br />
clean lines and eliminate possible<br />
odours in your entryway, you could<br />
consider putting doors on your lockers<br />
to hide untidy clothes and shoes from<br />
guests.<br />
To store your keys and other smaller<br />
items that you require on a daily basis<br />
in your entryway without having to<br />
have a side table, use key hooks as<br />
well as hanging storage boxes to avoid<br />
taking up floor space.<br />
In your bedroom<br />
To save space in your bedroom<br />
consider investing in a bed with built-in<br />
storage units both underneath the bed<br />
and in the bedhead. This helps to store<br />
clothes, books, shoes, spare linen and<br />
accessories in your bed eliminating the<br />
need for shelving or a dresser.<br />
If you are particularly short on space<br />
and wish to use your bedroom for<br />
other purposes during the day, such as<br />
a space to do yoga or study, you could<br />
choose a bed which folds away neatly<br />
Feature Properties<br />
into a cupboard situated in the wall.<br />
Alternatively, if you already have a bed<br />
that stands on four legs you could raise<br />
your bed to create more storage space<br />
underneath.<br />
To store shoes in your bedroom, place<br />
hooks on either the back of your door<br />
or cupboard door and hang shoes<br />
in pairs for easy access. To prevent<br />
the build-up of dirty clothes on your<br />
bedroom floor, try hanging your<br />
clothing basket from the inside of your<br />
cupboard door or build it into your<br />
cupboard so that it can be tucked away<br />
neatly.<br />
The most important rule to make the<br />
most of the space in your bedroom is to<br />
maximise your use of wall space. Place<br />
hooks all around your bedroom to<br />
hang hats and jewellery and consider<br />
mounting invisible bookshelves, as<br />
well as pegboards to pin up any loose<br />
paper, small jewellery or photographs.<br />
Hanging keys or other important items<br />
behind photo frames is another great<br />
way to save space in your bedroom as<br />
well as create clean lines.<br />
