Buns That Are Hot
A bakery in Auckland was proclaimed as producing the best hot cross buns in NZ for 2022.
The judges were glowing in their praise.
The baker responsible is from Germany whose baking skills is part of a family tradition going back 600 years.
So I made enquiries. It would cost $4.50 per bun as well as $13.50 for courier and handling fees for a dozen.
I looked for alternatives not wanting just any hc bun for this special time of the year. And came up with the bakery in Waiwhetu Road, Lower Hutt.
If German baking skills is the key, this was the perfect double because this Lower Hutt bakery has Germany written all over it.
And so for a car drive and $2.50 each we got our hot cross buns this morning. Because they sell out fast each day, had to be at the shop by 9am but it was all worthwhile. Delicious. Main ingredience sour dough bread, lovely richly spiced and superbly glazed.
The Hutt Valley has its own "best hot cross buns in the nation" and at almost half the price.

Advice please, declined house insurance cover
Looking for advice please. Has anyone had any issues reinsuring their homes. Our current house insurance went up by 11.5%, so I decided to get another quote. At the end of a very long phone with Tower, they declined to insurance us, saying our property is a landslide risk. I'm on Wyndham Road in Pinehaven. While the house is up off the street, the house itself and backyard are on the flat part of our section. Now - in the interest of full disclosure - I'm going to have to tell our current insurer too. I've rung the Council to see if they've updated their hazards mapping - and they said the only update has been to the Pinehaven Overflow. Have lived in this house since 2003, and insurance has never been an issue till now. TIA
Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?
Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
