<p>Covered up in a violet rain jacket with the hood pulled close around her face, Hilary exults in the rain during a walk on Pakiri Beach, north of Auckland</p>

<p>"There are those who feel the rain, and then there are those who just get wet. Feel the rain!" she cries, beaming into the camera as she spins around on the sand.</p>

<p>Reading Classics Illustrated comics in the car outside the pub was our 4 week annual holiday treat. It saved me reading the actual books at Uni. What with 3-4 pubs/day for a couple of hours each you could get through the complete works of Dickens easily in a summer. I remember well The Tale of Two Hunchbacks of Monte Cristo.</p> -

<p>I have vivid memories of too many of those as a young fella in Nelson when Mum sent me to the Pub with Dad one avo, he was playing in the band and part of the deal was free drinks for me, I had a good old chunder out the window of the car on the way home.</p> -

<p>It's amazing we ever got anywhere on family trips when we were kids. We always stopped there on our way north and it's not even an hour from Hastings. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rugby club rooms were the best though. Same as pub, raspberry and lemonade/chips, but you got to play with a bunch of your rugby mates at the same time.</p>
