Book of the Week
Time to smell the roses
Did you ever wonder if you would be brave enough to not go home from your weekend retreat, and live there permanently?
Time to smell the roses: a new life in Ophir by Lois Galer
Ever wanted to chuck in you job and move away for a more relaxed lifestyle? And where is Ophir anyway?
This book follows Lois and Bill Baler as they decide they no longer want to leave their weekend retreat to go back to their jobs, and decide to move to Ophir permanently. It follows the trials they face as they renovate their house and garden. A great read for anyone contemplating a complete change of lifestyle in a lovely rural town that is famous for having both the highest and lowest temperature readings in New Zealand.
