TIME TRAVEL

We occasionally drive past the house where Mrs Dzenis lived at the time of purchase in 1995, and it looks exactly like it did then — white, roughcast, built in the late ’50s or ’60s. Curiosity got to me the other day. Her name is still listed in the phone book, so I dialed the number. Lo and behold, she answered it. Iama is still sharp as a pin. She remembers the Falcon well. She told me that a local Kaiapoi man purchased a green one on the same day, but she liked her car’s metallic dark blue much better, even naming the colour of the paint correctly. Can’t see me having a memory as good as hers at that age.

It could have been January 1995, on the day Trevor purchased the Falcon from Mrs Dzenis, but this photo was taken in June 2020, 25 years on. Mrs Dzenis lives there still
