Farewell Maree McDermott
It is with heavy hearts that we let you know that Maree McDermott passed away on February 19th, surrounded by family and friends. We know that Maree was beloved by the local community so we're trying to let as many people know as we can! A celebration of Maree's life will be held at All Saints Chapel, Purewa Cemetery and Crematorium, 100 Saint Johns Road, Meadowbank, on Tuesday 25 February 2025 at 12 noon. We will gather at 11:30 before her service. Please wear bright colours like our Queen of Style Maree.

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
