An homage to Nora Ephron

Feeling incredibly wistful at the thought of leaving NZ because we both have so many feelings we could get emotionally attached to a rock - which incidentally Alice has done a few times - we have created a homage to Nora Ephron and put together lists of things we will and won't miss

Things I'll miss

Pak n Save
Lake towns
Kiwis
Savignon blanc
Savignon blanc for £2.50
The South Island landscape
Queenstown
Not having to think
Real fruit ice cream
The sunshine
Sunsets
Andrea and Martin
A few others
The hikes
The New World discount card

Things I won't miss

The boy in our dorm room in QT
The rain
Sunburn
Talking about people and finding out that they're sitting behind you
Check in queues
The price of avocados

Things Al will miss

Grace

Things Al won't mis

Not seeing Grace

Mindful of Scaz's exasperated sigh, Hattie's eye roll and Mimi's kind acceptance, Al rewrote her list.

Version two:

Things Al will miss

New world club deals
Bag packers
Two pack rizla
Ice creams
Real fruit ice creams
Braeburns ❤️
The bloody mountains
The clouds kissing the mountains
Blue skies
Swimming in lakes
Jugs of beer
Trying to photograph something but it not doing it justice at all
Happy hour
Lust excitement (both mine and Lucie’s)
Lucie’s lust pain
Sparrows (the little spaz’s)
Ducks

Things Al won't miss

The coach fabric on my legs
Getting dressed in the shower cubicle
The top bunk
The relentless rain
Being stuck in a coach when it’s glorious outside
Cooking in communal kitchens
Losing half a pack of Oreos
Lust pain (just mine)
