Bought from England so it is a lovely warm jacket.
There is a mark on the sleeve (see photos) and a name on the inside that I have covered with a pink ribbon.
I am not sure if it is waterproof because it was never worn by my granddaughter.
It is a very fitted jacket.
Stunning sunrises, frosty mornings and snowy mountains. There's a lot of beauty to be seen in these winter months.
We’d love to see your corner of the country and what your winter looks like. Share a photo below...

Moving to New Zealand in 1976 and with four children to cook for, Robyn said the ratatouille recipe was a firm family favourite which she would cook up every couple of weeks when the veggies were in season.

Cost of living has been on our minds lately, and one cost often lamented in our office is parking.

We all know that New Zealanders pay high parking fees! But research shows that the cost is driven by factors such as location, quality, and convenience.
The average daily parking fee being paid in CBDs:
$39.53 in Auckland,
$37.83 in Wellington,
and $32.60 in Christchurch.
But again, the range is wild! Aucklanders could be paying anything from $12 to $80, Wellingtonians from $15 to $50, and if you are in Christchurch, you are looking at $10 to $98.
Neighbours, we want to know: How much are you paying for daily parking fees?
Do you have any tips on how to find cheaper parks?

In a time when peace feels more precious than ever, the Tawa community is creating space for reflection, connection, and hope.
Join us on Sunday, 13 July at 10am in Coronation Park for the official opening of the Tawa Peace Labyrinth — a meaningful new feature built by Rotary Tawa to mark 50 years of service to our community.
The labyrinth, designed by Tawa College student Alastair Binns, is a symbol of life’s journey — with its twists and turns reminding us that even in uncertainty, there is always a way forward.
As part of Rotary’s global commitment to peacebuilding, this labyrinth reflects our belief that peace begins at home — in our neighbourhoods, our schools, and our shared spaces.
We invite you to come, explore, and reflect. Let this be a moment for Tawa to stand together — for peace, for understanding, and for a stronger, more connected community.
Coronation Park, Tawa
Sunday, 13 July
10:00 AM - 11.00 AM
Peace starts here — with us.

Among them are students from immigrant families, where English is not the primary language at home, making it difficult to practise reading outside the classroom. Others simply benefit from a little extra encouragement to build their confidence and literacy skills.
During these sessions, Rotary members work one-on-one with students, typically spending 15 minutes with each child over a 45-minute to one-hour visit. These moments are about more than just reading; they help build literacy, confidence, and meaningful connections. The children look forward to their time together, and the joy is mutual—our volunteers cherish these sessions just as much.
Earlier this week, Rotary Club of Tawa President Pat Waite and long-time educator Judith Havill visited the school to donate 20 Rotary dictionaries to some year 6 students.
These dictionaries are more than just books—they’re tools for empowerment, helping students overcome language barriers and explore the richness of the English language in a fun and engaging way.
A touching moment came from the school’s office manager, who shared that her 17-year-old daughter still treasures the Rotary dictionary she received when she was in Year 6.
This project is a testament to the power of community, compassion, and the belief that every child deserves the chance to thrive.
The Rotary Dictionary
Launched in 2008 by Bill Boyd, past Rotary International President, and his wife Lorna, the Rotary Dictionary Project provides illustrated dictionaries to Year 4 students in low-decile schools across New Zealand and the Pacific. Through the Bill and Lorna Boyd Charitable Trust, over 250,000 dictionaries have been distributed, promoting literacy and learning at home and in classrooms. The project reflects Boyd’s lifelong commitment to education and Rotary’s mission to support literacy worldwide.
We have donated these dictionaries for many years now to Linden and other Tawa schools. Bill, who promoted Literacy as an international project, has recently died, but his legacy lives on with the children who have his dictionaries.
