It’s something Judith and Bob have discovered since moving to Bert Sutcliffe Retirement Village in Auckland. The couple enjoy peace of mind knowing exactly what they’re going to pay each week at the village. As a Ryman Healthcare village, Bert Sutcliffe residents enjoy a fixed base weekly fee for life – guaranteed.*
Judith explains, “For us it was a no brainer, it was the best decision.

Delicious as is, the pudding is also receptive to additional flavours such as lemon rind or raisins and spices like ginger or cinnamon. Make it in a family-sized dish or in individual ramekins to give everyone their own personal pud.
Ingredients
75 g Butter, plus extra for greasing
75 g Sugar
75 g Self raising flour
1 Egg
1 Tbsp Milk
100 g Golden syrup
Directions
Lightly grease a mould, a small pudding basin, or 4 ramekins with a little butter. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and fold in the flour and milk. Pour the golden syrup into the bottom of the pudding basin or mould.
Carefully spoon the pudding batter on top of the golden syrup, spreading the mixture evenly. Cover and seal the top of the pudding basin with baking paper tied into place with string (or you can use tin foil).
Place the pudding basin in a large pot of simmering water. Ensure the water comes halfway up the side of the basin, put the lid on and steam for 30-40 minutes. If you are using ramekins, heat an oven to 160C and place the ramekins in a deep oven tray. Pour warm water around them so that it comes halfway up the ramekins and bake for 20 minutes.
Serve with vanilla bean ice cream and whipped cream.

Lemon golden pudding: Grate the rind of one small lemon and add to the batter with the milk and flour.
Ginger golden pudding: Add 1 tsp of ground ginger with the flour and milk.
Nutty golden pudding: Add chopped walnuts to the bottom of the greased mould before you pour in the golden syrup.

Learn about doTERRA essential oils and how they can naturally support your physical, emotional, spiritual and environmental well being.
It's a sad fact that we now live in a toxin filled environment.
We can't control the toxins and chemicals we are exposed to when we are out and about, but we can control what we are exposed to inside our house.
From the products we use to clean our house to the beauty products we put on our skin. Many of these can have nasty chemicals hiding in them that over time, can build up in your body and have negative side effects on your health.
I want to show you how to use essential oils to replace all these with natural alternatives!
In this class you get to smell the oils, learn about the oils and learn how to use them safely and effectively and have the opportunity to purchase oils to start on your own journey into a more natural toxin-free life.
And sample some yummy essential oil infused treats!
And then stay on for a Diffuser Bracelet Make and Take class from
11 - 12pm.
Cost for this is $30 and you will make your own personal diffuser bracelet using lava stones and crystal beads and also your own essential oil blend to use on your bracelet.
Bring a friend and receive a surprise gift!!!! (Valid for those who are not a doTERRA wellness advocate)
RSVP’s are essential as seats are limited - only 6 spots available. Please RSVP via this event or private message.
If you can’t make this date but would like to arrange a time that suits you and a few friends, please get in contact with me and we can discuss a suitable time and venue.
I look forward to seeing you there!

Hi neighbours
Has anyone had dealings with sunshine. A person called Ken threw the phone down in my ear and then they didn't show up on time for paperwork so I left and then got bombarded with texts calling me dishonest and a liar.
What recourse is there for this kind of behaviour?
Thanks
