Research published this year has demonstrated that playing music helps keep dementia at bay - no matter how late in life the skill is picked up.
The basic idea behind this research is not new - we know that 'cognitive reserve' (learning new things) plays a big role in delaying mental slowdown. But the reminder that "it is never too late" is welcome ...
We hope this news brings a smile!

There is a hugh possibility that the council will demolish the Stoke Hall and there is no guarantee that it will be replaced.
I am of the understanding that a lot of effort with fundraising made this hall possible many years ago. We don't need another skate park we need to keep up with maintenance of our historic buildings.
Vote very carefully in the coming local election.

Spring’s here, and with it comes warmer weather and lots of activity from our birds. It’s a great time to get outside—many birds are easier to spot as they build nests, raise their chicks, or return from their Arctic adventures 👀

Keen to do some backyard birdwatching? The Department of Conservation have put together a nifty guide on how to plan and plant a garden that attracts native birds.

Those with 350 pieces would be fine, tho I prefer 500 pieces.
I’ve done the very small number that are available from all our local libraries, (tho they’re seldom there to borrow), and rarely see one in an op shop.
I share them with a friend, so they will be well used!
Please message me. Thanks.
We have 1/2,trailer load of Rumania firewood.
There is approximately 1.5 cubic metres.
May be just enough to get you through the end of winter/early spring.
