Poll: How confident are you feeling about our economy right now?

We’ve all seen the headlines lately — New Zealand’s economy shrank more than expected between April and June (down 0.9%).

(If not, you can read a summary of the June quarter's activity on this article published by the Post)

Now that the weekend’s over and things have calmed down a bit, the Neighbourly Team are keen to hear from you: how are you feeling about it all?

Summer’s coming, and holidays are on the horizon … should we be focusing on the future rather than the past quarter? Or is this dip in the road a real concern?

Slow Woven Textile Studio Open Day

Natasha from Ashhurst - Pohangina

Hi Neighbours! I am a weaver and fibre artist who works with natural fibres to create beautiful, one-off pieces inspired by the native plant life of Aotearoa.

Join me in my Ashhurst studio next Sunday, the 4th of January, for the Slow Woven Textile Studio monthly open day. You can learn about weaving, enjoy demonstrations and even weave your own cute and colourful mug rug to take home for free.

I share the studio with my dad, rural artist Graham Christensen, and his work will also be on display.

Sunday 4th of January, Open 10am-4pm
84 Glenburn Road, (off Napier Rd) Ashhurst.

Please note that number 84 is at the very end of Glenburn Road - so wind your way up the hill and it's at the very top.

The studio is open to the public on the first Sunday of each month.
