My Summer: Tim Shadbolt, Invercargill Mayor

My favourite summer holiday getaway is ...

On the road, I love to be travelling.

I love it because ...

Changing scenery, changing places, different people to meet.

Summer means getting out and about to ...

The coastline, but sometimes inland to the lakes and rivers.

It's not a proper Kiwi summer without ...

A lot of laughter, entertainment and meeting hundreds of new people every day.

Holiday food means ...

Lots of cafe food, flat whites, but some healthy salads too.

This Christmas was special because ...

Mum was still able to turn up. She's 93 years old but her brain is sharp as ever.
