Happy New Year everyone! We hope you are having a lovely break or are gently getting back into work.

We can't thank you enough for the support we had from our community leading up to Christmas, it was fantastic! We were definitely ready for the holidays after a busy first four months and have enjoyed our few days off. We're open again from today and excited about a new year ahead of us.

Come and see us for those birthday and special gifts or for that something for yourself, we're happy to help for any occasion.

Have a great year and we hope to see you soon!

Happy New Year to everyone on Neighbourly. This week we feature Rosa Marie, who took her camera out on Christmas Day. You have got to love the picture of the pied stilt chick!

"Before the festivities began, it was a quick drive over the Pauahatanui Inlet to try and capture some Kingfishers on camera, but it turned out to be Pied Stilt kind of day as we couldn't see any Kingfishers. Most of these photos are taken from one of the hides! There were Pied Stilt chicks too so their parental concern was quite evident from lots of noisy flapping of wings at other birds when they got too close. They were quite grumpy with each other too!"
