My daughter Elizabeth

Avryll Dawn from Hornby

This was just sent by e- mail from my girl in France......
Dear Mum,
Just a quick note. I hear from Kiwi friends a concert I did appeared on the NZ news. Probably the most recent from what I hear.

I was interviewed by Jude Dobson who was over here.

Nothing spectacular. They snuck up on me while I was rehearsing alone so was interviewed tired, stinky and no make up. Not even decent clothes. It is what it is.

Will write more when get over my cold.

Love you
E xx

What I am asking...did anyone see this on TV just recently, because it must have been one news bulletin I didn't watch...wonder what the segment was. At one time Elizabeth was in the Army Band (first girl in) and now teaches as well as being a respected and popular performer..Just wonder why Jude Dobson was interviewing her and how it came up in the mainstream news.

If you saw it and remember it, can you please let me know what it was about....and which channel it was on because it may be possible to You Tube it - something like that......still my girl..."stinky, no make up, not decent clothes"........Elizabeth has long blonde (assisted) hair and is quite petite, and looks just like her gorgeous and multi talented Mum.....
Thanks guys....

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
