Local weather forecasts and recommendation.
Has anybody noticed how bad the weather forecasts for Taranaki are? For the last couple of years I have tended to look at the weather maps in the Daily News as they tend to be more accurate. By comparison the forecasts we see on the national stations tend to be over emotive and more often than not wrong. Do they know where Taranaki is? I have recently started looking at the NIWA website. I would highly recommend this. After a couple of months I have found it hardly ever wrong and it is far more descriptive. I am aware our mountain can cause local variations but this cannot explain the discrepancies. in my opinion. Hi Neighbours - what do you think?

Bowen Therapy at Holistic Health Taranaki
Bowen Therapy is a non-invasive and very gentle body therapy, focusing on fascia release. It does not force the body, stress the body or manipulate. It can be given though a thin layer of clothing.
Through the work on the fascia, it positively affects the nervous system, creating a cascade of positive change with other body systems as well.
If you have any of the below symptoms, or if you have tried 'everything' and have made no progress, try Bowen. It might be the right thing for you.

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
