Muscovey Ducks

Our muscovey ducks have had a busy summer making babies and sitting on eggs. Or is it the other way around? They are the most delightful ducks. Known as the quackless duck, they are very quiet.

Or is it the other way around? They are the most delightful ducks. Known as the quackless duck, they are very quiet. The drakes will hiss at you but this is a greeting, not a warning. They communicate by head-bobbing which is cute to watch. If you get some young and spend time with them they can become very friendly. Their eggs are fabulous for baking or eating - large and flavourful. We have juveniles available soon. Please call 06 879 8847 or email at brenda.spiller@xtra.co.nz for photos.

Home safety checklist: Fall-proofing your home when over 65...

With cooler weather embracing the country, you may find you’re not getting out and about as much. So now is the ideal time to make sure your home is as fall-proof as possible.

The home safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to make your home safe. It covers how to avoid slips and falls in the home’s most used areas. For example, paths can get icy in winter, applying salt or sand to your path can help avoid any icy slips.

Having a fall can be upsetting. Those over 65 have a one in three chance of having a fall, while those over 80 it’s one in two.

The good news is falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.

Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.

3. Which bridesmaid stuck her tongue out at Harry & Meghan’s wedding?
4. How old was the queen when she ascended the throne?
5. How many horses pulled the Queen’s carriage to her coronation?

See what I mean - easy peasy! Send us your answers by message or email nick@earsuctionhawkesbay.co.nz to keep your answers private.

During term time, students live with their peers in boarding houses at school. In the school holidays, many students wish to stay with host families to enjoy the Kiwi way of life. If you have a spare room and you are interested in other cultures, then your home could become her home away from home.

Homestays are an invaluable opportunity for the student and host family alike, providing the chance to learn more about each other’s cultures and perspectives.

Homestay families receive an honorarium of $40 per night. To register your interest, please visit www.woodford.school.nz/homestay or call Dana Solomon on (06) 8730 700.
