Soap - Country Living in the 1920's

New Zealand Electronic Text Centre

No doubt there were many different brands of soap available, but the two that I best remember were Lifebuoy and Sunlight. Soap was also sold in long bars. I remember that my Mother always used St Mungo powder for her copper washing. From time to time, a supply of home made soap was boiled up in the ...

We are still making our way up the glacier. I can not remember how long we had been walking by this time. I know that it was at least an hour if not more, because this was my first day on the glacier and I had booked a half day excursion. That option gave a person one hour on the ice if I remembe...

By Helen Do you remember the days when one avoided sun-burn like the plague—wore wide-brimmed hats and veils, and long gloves and skirts? A picnic was a battle on behalf of the complexion. If you are a young thing, and don't remember the days “before the War,” you may not realize what a wonderful th...

[section] - Bill Manhire — Songs of My Life

New Zealand Electronic Text Centre

‘The Duke of Edinburgh Calypso’: that is the one he sings all the time, especially since the long-term presence of Maria. He does it with loud persuasive feeling, too. There are lines in it, ‘Two paces behind’ and ‘Not even on the one pound note’, which I can never remember what they rhyme with. Not...

Over The Great Divide - The Otira

New Zealand Electronic Text Centre

That walk is certainly one well worth remembering. It was taken by all types and ages of people. One old lady of eighty did the walk and enjoyed it, whilst at least half of those who “walked over” were middleaged and would, at ordinary times, think a mile a very long walk. But there is something ins...
