To Eleisha McNeill, Andrew and Jenny Frazer, also our old St Austell Close neighbours—Adam, Nadia, Mitch, Phil, Deano and the crew—thanks for keeping an eye on Mae and the boys, especially when Theo was young and not well. Mischa and Dixon, thanks for your friendship in Greytown. And in Tītahi Bay, the Dawsons, Glen Timihou, the crew at the RSA, the bowling club, the surf club—which all had bars—and Kerry Delaney all need thanking.
