Age Concern's latest newsletter

Lorna Harvey from Age Concern Wellington Region

Kia ora,

Daylight saving comes to an end on Sunday morning, so don’t forget to change your clocks back one hour. Even though the days are growing shorter and the nights longer, there is still time to get out and about to meet with friends and acquaintances. Today's eNewsletter lists a number of pop-up hubs for seniors throughout the Wellington Region with morning/afternoon tea or coffee or light lunch, where you can have a cuppa and a bit of a chin wag with old and new friends. See you there..

New Zealand?

Rae from Maungaraki

Is this NZ or some alternative 3rd world reality? No lamb in any shop in Wgtn/NZ? at Christmas! Supermarkets have stopped selling even sliced lamb! I rang every supermarket, butchers and Mad Butcher. Most had none; some only shaved, tough old, shoulder chops needing 8 hours slow cooking. I was repeatedly told we cant get it! Some said its too dear to stock!
Next thing we know the supermarkets will be importing our lamb from UK at half the price.
Time to reinstate CARP? (campaign against rising prices)
Try to have a happy, alternative, Christmas.
