At the end of the wilderness walk (the afternoon of Thursday 6 February) Nicky MacArthur drove us back to the B&B in which we'd stayed a few nights before in Kaikoura. This time the owner, 80 something Margaret Woodhill, and her daughter -another Nicky- were there to look after us. We'd heard a lot about Mar's energy, and discovered that it's all true: running the guest house, tending her flowers, growing vegetables, keeping chickens, writing her family history, singing in the choir. What an inspiration to us all.
I was interested to discover that Nicky Woodhill runs the Kaikoura choir; just 15 strong at the moment and short of of men.
Our fellow guests in the B&B were another American couple, Dee and Doug Thomas from Henderson, Minnesota where it's still minus 30 degrees.
