Hi Neighbours, I hope you all managed to have a great Christmas and, like me, are all looking forward to the New Year!!

My wee family is relocating down to the South Island early in the New Year so wanted to ask if anyone out there has any moving boxes etc. lying around you no longer require or may be looking to get rid of?

We have found the My Food Bag boxes and wool lined chiller bags come in very handy so definitely if you have some of these lying around we would be interested in hearing from you.

Thanks and wishing a Happy New Year to all of you reading this!!

Asked how she feels about being made a dame, Dr Juliet Gerrard​ is somewhat lost for words, an unfamiliar position for the woman whose job is distilling the most up-to-date scientific information for those making the decisions that will shape our future.

Gerrard, currently Jacinda Ardern’s chief science advisor, has been named a Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit​ in the New Year Honours.

While she hasn’t really processed what it means on a personal level, it hasn’t stopped the Freemans Bay resident from sharing the news with her 75-year-old mum in the United Kingdom, who got a kick out of getting the good news on her birthday.
