Seniors Day Out - SDO
SENIORS DAY OUT - Ayrilies Garden
Last week we had a fabulous time traveling to Whitford, Auckland where we first had a delicious lunch at The Lime Tree Cafe, salt and pepper squid, phyllo parcels, chowder and so much more.
We then travelled a short way up the road to the world-famous Ayrlies Garden where we were given a warm welcome by our host Luana before taking a relaxed stroll through the gardens filled with beautiful water features, stretching lawns, and gardens brimming with familiar and unfamilar plants.
To finish off the trim it was ice cream in a cone as we came back into Silverdale.
I look forward to our next trip in April.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59.7% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
78.8% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
21.2% No. This would be impossible in practice.
