Last year was tough. What are you looking forward to in 2021?

Happy New Year!

The Team Reporter from NZ House & Garden

We hope you’ve managed to enjoy the break, or if you’ve had to work through, that you get some time off soon.

We’ve been dreaming of relaxing at this colourful retro Kāpiti bach which features in our January issue. It’s the perfect sanctuary for its Wellington owners, who find themselves unwinding as soon as they walk through its front gate. Where's your favourite place to unwind over the summer?

F & P Washsmart Top Load Washing Machine - Free

Adrian from Albany Heights

This machine has just developed a fault where it fails to complete the final rinse; it's about 8 to 10 years old so we don't want to spend time and effort (and cost) sorting it out and have purchased the same model to replace it (unbelievably identical in every detail!).

This machine has just developed a fault where it fails to complete the final rinse; it's about 8 to 10 years old so we don't want to spend time and effort (and cost) sorting it out and have purchased the same model to replace it (unbelievably identical in every detail!).
Apart from the above fault it's in excellent condition and functions up to the point where the programe fails (picking it's likely an electronics problem) with absolutely no rust or dents. Ideal if you're into troubleshooting or just want it for spares.
If you are interested please message me by return to organise urgent pickup from Albany Heights before I haul it to the scrap merchants....see attached pic.

"Mending Wall ", all about good neighbours - a poem by Robert Frost in 1914

David from Waiake

This is one of those rare poems which can be found in countless anthologies, hence read and appreciated by generation upon generation the world over. Frost wrote it way back, in the plain speech of New England farmers in the USA.
It came back to prominence in the Cuban missile crisis of 1963 and … View more
This is one of those rare poems which can be found in countless anthologies, hence read and appreciated by generation upon generation the world over. Frost wrote it way back, in the plain speech of New England farmers in the USA.
It came back to prominence in the Cuban missile crisis of 1963 and again in 2016, as Donald Trump began his disgraceful campaign around "build that wall".
The cadences pulse with deeper, darker themes, paradoxes inherent
in all human relationships.
I really enjoyed illustrating it with copper plate intaglio etchings. Why not make 2021 the year when you let the creative impulse to building positive relationship guide your thinking.

The best summer ferry trips to take from Auckland - and what to do once you're there

Caroline Williams Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Summer daytrips out of Auckland always seem like a great plan until you’re trapped in a sticky motorway crawl, with thousands of other people who had the same bright idea.

But swap your roadie for a ferry and you’ll gain time, save petrol, and get sweet views from the water to boot.

Rangitoto and Waiheke might be the obvious island destinations, but there are plenty more places you can explore via the water.

How does one sum up a distinguished career upon being awarded New Zealand's highest royal honour?

“It’s always been this huge adventure,” Dame Anne Salmond says of her career as an anthropologist, environmentalist and multi award-winning author, unable to settle on a particular highlight.

Salmond's work has been recognised with a multitude of awards and honours.

Despite this, Salmond, a resident of Stanley Point, said she was stunned and overwhelmed to receive a letter telling her she had been named a Member of the Order of New Zealand for services to New Zealand in the 2021 New Year Honours.
