Cooking Classes for Seniors

Sally from The Brook

Are you finding it hard to get up and feed yourself a good meal, lacking the confidence to make good food and needing some more skills in the kitchen ?

If this sounds like you, perhaps you would like to consider attending our FREE cooking classes starting this Thursday, 25th Feb. They run for 4 weeks and each session is 3 hours long.

During this time you learn about nutrition, meal planning, portion size, food labelling, good food practices and even more. You'll see me demo one of the recipes and then you will make a couple. We then sit down as a group and enjoy lunch. All that for FREE!
You will take home a 50 page recipe booklet to try all the new recipes.
Details of location and times on the poster attached. We need 4 more people to make the numbers up to 12.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
