Favourite summer holiday spots

Lorna Thornber Reporter from Stuff Travel

Hi everyone,
We'd be keen to hear about your favourite summer holiday spots in NZ. Is there somewhere you keep returning to year after year and, if so, what are the main attractions? What makes it such a stand-out spot? Any tips you may be able to offer on the best things to see and do there - as well as the best places to grab a drink or bite to eat - would be much appreciated. Please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article. Thanks again.

WINTER DONATIONS & SATURDAY VOLUNTEERS

The Team from Red Cross Shop Richmond

Heya Community,

Thanks for your incredible support this week as always. We're still on the hunt for more donations, especially WINTER CLOTHING & MENSWEAR. Remember we offer free collection Monday to Friday!

We're also looking for a couple of enthusiastic volunteers to join us on Saturdays!
(9:30-1:30 & 1:30-5:00)

Whether you're a morning person or prefer the afternoon shift, we'd love your help. All you need is to be friendly, have great communication skills, and if you have an eye for design, that's a bonus! Plus, we won't say no to a good singing voice or a love for chocolate biscuits 😉

Drop by and chat with Pen if you're interested!

See you in store this weekend 🏠,
Red Cross Richmond

Macrame or netting expert

Jon from The Wood

I have a number of old colored glass marine floats that are encased in a netting basket arrangement. The netting is starting to deteriorate. I was wondering if there was anyone out there who could make new net baskets for them or perhaps macrame. I would be very grateful if anyone could give me a heads up. Thank you.

Turn downsizing stress into strength

Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village

Downsizing can open the door to a new stage of your life that is rich in opportunity. However, it can be a daunting prospect. If you are embarking on a new chapter of life, the thought of shedding familiar possessions can feel even more stressful. This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.

Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.
