Traffic

Warren Gamble Reporter from The Nelson Mail

Kia ora, Posting on behalf of my colleague, Catherine Hubbard, a reporter with the Nelson Mail/Stuff. She is looking into writing an article about the daily commute into Nelson, which appears to be getting longer with heavier traffic - at least on Waimea Rd and SH6. What is your commute like? What time do you leave to avoid the traffic? Is it taking you longer than normal? Please feel free to message her at catherine.hubbard@stuff.co.nz (and let her know if you are okay about your name being used and/or contacted).
Thanks very much.

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition

Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village

The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.

For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.

What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.

Worst Xmas ever?
