NOW OPEN: "Y-Art Studio" and Gallery - Watercolours by Therese

Therese from Burnside

A wonderful, rare opportunity!

WHEN? Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 28 January 2024, 10 am – 3 pm.

WHERE?: - 60 Greers Road (close to Memorial Ave), Burnside, Christchurch.

WEB: www.tboustead.nz...

I am a local watercolour artist who is passionate about New Zealand birds and landscapes. I paint in my studio at home, which is located at the end of a picturesque cottage garden path. Our garden currently has about 60 dahlias out in flower.

Until this coming Sun 28 January 2024, my art studio will be open to the public between 10 am and 3 pm. A small gallery is set up in my studio to display some of the work that I do.

You are most welcome to come along and see some of my work, and find out what has inspired me to paint. Flags will be at the entrance, so just follow the signs to my studio.

Apart from the paintings, I also create craft pendants and earrings which are also for sale. Eftpos is available and parking is on the street.

Note: More of my artwork is also on display in the Liffey Gallery (Lincoln) until Sunday 18 February 2024.

Poll: Do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? ☔⚠️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Press, the same low-pressure system that lashed the North Island over the weekend is now making its way south, bringing heavy rain and strong winds with it. It’s a soggy start to the week for many of us.

With more wild weather on the cards, we’re curious: do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? Or are you more of a “grab the torches and hope for the best” household?

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

🌿 Ōtukaikino Memorial Service Changes 🌿

Manager from Lamb & Hayward

This year marks a change, whereby Lamb and Hayward will no longer hold the usual Memorial Service in February at Ōtukaikino “The Living Memorial”. Instead, Lamb and Hayward will now host a Memorial Weekend in the spring.

This new format will include a tree dedication, followed by optional planting activities and guided tours of the site.

Created in 1992 with the Department of Conservation, The Living Memorial is a 13-hectare native wetland where a tree is planted for every funeral service conducted by Lamb & Hayward. It remains a peaceful space of remembrance for families, with the Angel Rock continuing as the resting place for Angels from our Christmas to Remember services.
