Kooky Old Thorndon
October 2006, by Gini
Grant Road marked the beginning of a new era. Living with the opposite sex! (oh gosh). The flat was transformed… we hung photos, bought new furniture and even cleaned once or twice.
Just as the sun was sticking around a little longer than usual and summer was on its way the landlords decided they wanted to come home, so we were out!
With only 4 weeks to find a new tang pad, we made a list of necessities such as a dishwasher, dryer, sun, deck, walking distance to town those sorts of things. The usual right? After three stressed weekends later, we found a cute upstairs flat in the heart of Newtown. Hundred metres to the ‘high’ street with a spacious deck, loads of morning and afternoon sun, dishwasher and of course walking distance to work! Oh what luck.
So we packed our bags… again and with the help of friends and family, we left our first kooky flat in Thorndon and are now ‘happy of Newtown’.
Thorndon was fun and in a lot of ways it reminded us of London with its classic 1900’s houses, gourmet restaurants, bouquet shops and not to mention the snooty permanent residents!
Bye Thorndon! We wont forget you. g
