  • Our Hutt City
    i Hutt City 28 AuGuSt 2012 i LOVE HUTT CITY BECAuSE... Everything is so accessible: shops, libraries, parks – they’re all at our doorstep,” says Normandale mother of three, marathon runner and avid book reader Janette Gwilliam. “But best of all, there’s space in this city to breathe. Wellington may claim the cultural crown, but I’ll take the Hutt’s convenience any time.” Janette’s three daughters – two now at school and one a pre-schooler – share her passion for books, so she seldom leaves War Memorial Library or Moera Library with less than a couple of dozen books under her arms – a handy contribution to the more than one million items they lend each year. Janette is delighted at the introduction last year of the SMART card, which allows users to borrow any of up to half a million books, videos and CDs from 23 libraries in the region. “It has opened up a whole new world of reading. It’s especially useful if you’re reading a series and some of the books aren’t in your local library.” Born in Hawke’s Bay, Janette moved south in 1998, settling in a Moera cottage she and her husband only recently sold for a more spacious, modern home in the western hills. Her marathon training (she’s completed two marathons in the past two months) has given her another reason to love the city – she’s discovered off-road Hutt. Joining members of the Hutt Valley Marathon Clinic (“an awesome club”) for regular runs has taken her into the hills, following all manner of out-of-the-way tracks and trails.
