Can't see Moomin without thinking of @katydidnz.bsky.social - this is in Loft, a department store in Shibuya, Tokyo.
(T-shirts were around $140NZD, so I didn't partake.)

I think people overseas didn't know this bit (thought we were locked down for a year or more) and lots of people here forgot.

Not sure if this is ignorance on the journalist's (Luke M) part or the transposing of figures during the edit. 🤷♀️

A must-visit in Foxton is Mewington's Book Shoppe, which has moved from SH1 to the main street in town.
It's a booklover's dream, and you don't have to be a child to enjoy the beautiful spaces they've created. Mostly new books, but has a secondhand book corner.

I'm halfway through Pet by Catherine Chidgey (one of the books I got at Christmas) and have to stop to tell you how good it is.
Although I was 12 a few years earlier than this is set (1984), boy, does it take me right back to being that age. #kikorangi
