Check out the Te Ra Harvest Fair this Sunday
Do not forget to check out the Te Ra Harvest Fair this Sunday at 11am.
It is a small school but it puts on a big fair.
Te Ra is renowned for the beautifully hand crafted toys available, although they sell out fast so you have to be quick. You can watch a puppet show, hunt for crystals, try your hand at archery, or other old time fair games, get your hair done in the crazy hair den, use the photo booth to dress up and take the perfect snap, dip your own candle, get your face painted and go on a treasure hunt.
Te Ra Waldorf School,
Harvest Fair, Sunday 28 March 11 am – 3 pm, 89 Poplar Ave, Raumati South
Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
