Winter Art Deco festival

Denise from Marewa

Just when you thought you were safe, I bring you the Winter Art Deco festival. It's surprising how many don't know we actually have one but maybe because it's a lot smaller. People do come from Auckland and Australia for this one and if you have granny's fur coat stashed away, this is the time to bring it out. I'm already preparing my knitted outfit for the event. With the sudden cold snap on Sunday, it's time to consider knitting for the cooler months. The Sallies Shop on Carlyle Street has some great wool bargains if you are quick. My friends and I will be back at the knitting group at Wool N Things at the Onekawa shops every Saturday from 10-1.

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.

Undelivered parcel.

Neil from Taradale

Hi There,
Yesterday 29 April 2024 by tracking information I was meant to have a parcel delivered to my address in Jervoistown but it never arrived. Would anyone have it by mistake perhaps or can anyone help.
The DAI Post tracking number was CTEE552125.
Many thanks,
Neil Grant
