A BIT ABOUT US
We're the most affordable and serene Pet Stay in Auckland, offering a number of affordable solutions, whether you are looking at a day stay or for long term boarding when you are away.

Fairfield Pet Lodge (FPL) is family owned and operated and has been in the Taljaard family (Anton, Crisna and Ashlee) ownership for the past six years, but the facility was established in approximately 1978! FPL is situated on a lifestyle block of 5 stunning hectares including lush paddocks, large gardens and mature trees, located about 7.5km from Clevdon and just under 40km from Auckland airport.

Anton has an abundance of experience with animals, serving 12 years as a dog handler in the South African Police Service, shortly after arriving to NZ he volunteered his services at the SPCA in Mangere. He also holds severage degrees in business and management. Therefore, it's no surprise that managing FPL is based on modern and sustainable practises. hence the slogan "We do not follow we lead" holds true for FPL

🚨💥 Another Lockdown Kitchen surprise we have Team Member Greg Collins baking up a storm!
Who doesn’t love a mouth-watering Chocolate Roulade…a great snack and an even better dessert! Pair it with some ice cream and voilà! An added bonus, it is gluten free! 😍🍫

Join along with Greg in the video below and make the whole family happy with this delicious treat. ✨ #teammichaelellse #quarantinecooking

Ingredients:
Oil for Greasing
225 grams dark plain chocolate
150 grams caster sugar
5 eggs
1 teaspoon instant coffee
4 ½ tablespoons water
Icing sugar
300 ml double cream

Recipe:
1. Preheat oven to 220 degrees. Cut a sheet of greaseproof paper big enough to line and stand above the rim of the tin. Fold the paper to fit the corners, fit it into the tin and grease very lightly with oil.
2. Separate the eggs. Yolks in one large bowl and whites in another.
3. Tip the caster sugar in with the yolks. Whisk together till light and pale using an electric or hand whisk.
4. Break the chocolate into a heavy bottomed pan. Add water and coffee granules.
5. Put pan on a very low heat and stir gently till creamy and melted.
6. Fold the melted chocolate into the mousse.
7. Whisk the egg whites till well frothy and almost stiff. Fold gently into the chocolate mix.
8. Pour the mis into the tin. Cook for 12-14 minutes – roulade should look browned and may be cracked on top. Leave to cool once finished cooking.
9. Whisk the double cream till softly firm. Smooth it over the roulade.
10. Lift the short end and roll it up away from you. Peel off the baking paper as you roll and lift onto a plate once rolled.
11. Sprinkle with sifted icing sugar.A.

Confused?

NumberWorks'nWords Howick & Pakuranga

To is a preposition with several meanings, including “toward” and “until.”
Too is an adverb that can mean “excessively” or “also.”
Two is also pronounced the same as to and too, but it can’t be used instead of either of them because it’s a number.

Did you know 1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives? When they do, let’s make sure they don’t have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.

For the month of September, we want to come together to share ways to boost mental health and well-being. For example, you could host an online catch up or quiz, call a neighbour who lives alone, challenge your family and friends to try a new hobby or move your body more to improve your own well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for free support from a trained counsellor.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re looking out for your well-being and helping others with theirs this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz
