Old Fairy lights

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Does anyone have any old, coloured fairy lights, they don’t need or want?
Mine needs some new bulbs and I can’t find anywhere to get them. So I am hoping to cannibalise an old set.

I’ve attached a photo of the set. And when I find them, I’ll attach a photo of the bulbs and fittings.

I’m not worried about matching bulb shape. They just need to fit and be for DC power, not battery.

45 days

I realised, driving to Taradale yesterday (Sunday), in 45 days it will be 1 year since Cyclone Gabrielle wrought such devastation on the Bay and beyond.

There is still so much to be done, but looking around, I can see so much that has been accomplished in bringing Hawke’s Bay back to the fruit bowl it was before.

There is so much new growth, so much new life, and so many new opportunities, that, while it isn’t all hearts and flowers, it’s a new beginning.

Here’s to new beginnings and old dreams finding new chances. Here’s to you, to me, to 2023, and to the future. May it be bright, beautiful and blessed. And may we never achieve everything we seek. May we always dream.

Happy New Year. However you choose to celebrate it and the old. I highly recommend the Fiesta of Lights as a great way.

And goodnight.
