The Cheese
• Tomme de Chevre Cendree – raw goats milk from the Loire Valley. A cheese of smooth cream, mushroom with refreshing acidity
• Brie de Meaux, ripe, delicate, and always easy to like.
• Abbaye De Citeaux – a washed rind cheese of unpasteurised cows milk cheese produced in an Abbey in Bourgogne Montbeliarde cows. Funky and a bit wild on the nose but rich and creamy on the palate.
• Gruyère from Switzerland with butter and toasted nuts. So easy to eat more and more.
• Roquefort, the famous sheep’s milk cheese in the town of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon must lead the game of best blue. Creamy, feral but with good acidity and a long lingering finish.

As a semi retired driving instructor I used to own one of Auckland's well known driving schools. I am now offering people my driving lessons experience for free with all the tips and tricks on how to pass a driving test. Most parents do a great job of coaching their children but don't have the tools to get up to test standard. Tips like how to navigate roundabouts and do observation points, lane changing procedures, flush medians, merging, speed zones, how and when to do the MIB - men in black procedures etc and the list goes on.

Please Note : I am trying out this new strategy to save people heaps on driving lessons and also it's a neighbourly gesture so learners can pass their test at VTNZ and avoid critical errors.

Council consented, architecturally designed house plans

Neville from Dairy Flat - Redvale

I have fully drawn up and consented house plans, but have decided not to proceed with the build.

It would be a shame for this to go to waste and so I was wondering if there would be anyone out there interested in them? This is for a 3 bed, 2.5 bathroom home with pavilion style living area, logia, separate master and guest wings, 3 garages and work shop. Would suit flat to slightly sloping land. The architects are willing to make modifications to the plans if required. 3-D modelling photos of the house attached. It took 13 months to have all this drawn up at some expense. Could save someone a lot of time and money. Contact Neville 0272088912
