About this word search
A bach is a simple holiday home, often by a beach or a lake, and in Otago and Southland it is called a crib. Many were built by families themselves from whatever was at hand, with bunks for the kids, a long drop out the back and a water tank catching rain from the roof. Card games and a jigsaw come out when it rains.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen and words run across, down or diagonally, never backwards. Outdoor shower is the longest at thirteen letters, then visitors book with twelve. Bach, crib, deck and lake have only four letters each. The J of jetty and jigsaw and the two K's of kayak are good starting points.
Keep a copy in the bach drawer with the cards and the pens. It is a good job for the kids on the first evening, while the grown-ups unpack.
