Caterer not afraid of a Brit of hard work

Wanganui is just a stop-off on a global jaunt for Englishwoman Emma Hattersley but it's given her the chance for probably a once-in-a-lifetime involvement with the NZ Masters Games.
Emma's not a competitor but one of the staff manning the Oggies cafe in the Games village and she's having a great time.
She and partner James Hornett had ticked off the River City as part of their world trip and, armed with work visas, they have taken the opportunity to earn a few extra dollars on their New Zealand leg.
That has meant a stopover of several weeks in Wanganui, in which time Emma picked up some work with Oggies owners Karen and Rob Sewell.
She said she had never struck anything like the Masters Games before.
"I think it's a brilliant idea. Everyone's nice and friendly and nothing is really too serious."
In their four months in this country, Emma and James have seen most of the North Island.
"Next we're doing a canoe trip on the Whanganui River before heading to the South Island," Emma said.
When they eventually leave this country they head to Australia, then into Southeast Asia and India before heading home. "We've had a really great time here. We've seen dolphins and orcas up north, along with the kauri forests, and we're looking forward to getting in some cycling in the South Island."
"We made a pact before we left home that any alcohol we drink will be made in the country we're currently in," Emma said.
While the Kiwi - and probably Aussie - wines have distinct appeal she's not too sure about what's in store in India.
Meanwhile, for Karen and Rob Sewell, this is their second time of games catering.
As well as maintaining the satellite cafe at the village they are still running Oggies, Indigo and Zinc restaurants in the city. They are preparing nearly all the food in the temporary premises at Games central and so far, she said, fish and chips had the edge in terms of patrons' favourites.
"It varies though," she said
The cafe is open from 7am until midnight throughout the Games.
"It's only for 10 days so we can manage."
But, she acknowledged that the run of very hot days at the start of Games week was tough.
"We were in a sweat almost as soon as we started work, but that's what happened when you work in busy kitchens," Karen said.
"We're getting though a heap of food this time and it's definitely up on the last Games," she said.
