How are you dealing with the All Black's loss?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from Waikato Times

Hi neighbours,
So as most of you will know, the All Blacks are out of the World Cup after England triumphed 19-7 during last night's semi final match.
I'm at work today, so am having to relive the loss over and over reading stories about how it all went wrong - like this one here.
Since I have nothing to distract my despair, I'd be keen to know what everyone else is doing today to try and put the loss behind them.

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.

Have you been to Hamilton Gardens lately?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval ‘hospital’, without the stress of the bubonic plague.

The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.
