Dear Friends,

Titled: Una Gemma Italiana ad Auckland (An Italian gem in Auckland)

Blockhouse Jellicoe Park
crn Quadrant Road and Grey Street

Bookings NOT required. Space limited to 30 seats.

You will be able to read all the information on the Auckland Heritage Festival website.

I will talk about a painting produced by a renaissance Italian woman painter considered to be the most famous renaissance European female painter, and I will introduce the renaissance in Italy.

Please pen this date on your diary.

Hope you are well,

Home made bread problem

Karen from Totara Vale

Is anyone else having trouble with bread dough not rising properly?

I used to be able to turn out a decent loaf but now the bread is half the height - if that - and very dense.

I've used 4 different brands of yeast including the type bakers use to no avail. I've changed the flour to the best available and I've followed the recipe meticulously.

It can only be the flour?

What do you think?

Poll: 🗑️ Would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Aucklanders, our weekly rubbish collections are staying after councillors voted to scrap a proposed trial of fortnightly pick-ups.

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

Keen for the details? Read up about the scrapped collection trial here.
