ANZAC Day
Spare a thought on ANZAC day, next Tuesday 25 April, for New Zealand's servicemen and women, both past and present. These amazing people will be remembered and honoured this day for their courage and service to our country. For details about ANZAC parades and services in the Auckland area, check out ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...
Respectfully, Saint Johns Butchery will be CLOSED on ANZAC day and will reopen for business as usual on Wednesday.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
- Laurence Binyon, 'For the Fallen' (fourth stanza)
