Who will you be following during the Olympics?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Billy Stairmand’s smile is as wide as Manu Bay after being confirmed in the New Zealand Olympic team for this year’s Paris games.

The Raglan surfer was in his hometown for the official confirmation ceremony on Tuesday morning.

While the waves were largely flat, the atmosphere was not.

Cameron House (0896-1) the view from the front:

Paul from Levin

Last week I referred to this house as owned originally by a Capt. Cameron. However, when Joanna Baylis described the decades of personal experiences in the house, I've left the Captain's name out of the title. Joanna wrote:
"This is my grandparents old house from Wanganui. It was built at Wicksteed St and they lived there for decades. We spent many years visiting for holidays, weekends and Christmas. Their name was Cameron and they were school teachers. When they sold, it was purchased for a commercial office and called Cameron House. Then years later it was relocated. Not sure who Captain Cameron is but I'm sure my grandfather would be chuffed and amused. This is a beautiful old home."

Thank you Joanna!
