Starting a conversation about care isn’t always easy but like many things, sometimes you just need to take the first step.
To help nurture those conversations, we invite you to our Care Centre Open Days at your local Ryman village. A tour will give you first-hand experience of our village communities and the exceptional care we provide. Care options include the extra support of a serviced apartment, resthome, hospital and specialist dementia care.

A gripe here, I am sick of getting unsolicited mail, hand written to 'The Householder' and with my street address on it, coming via NZ Post. It comes from members of the Jehovah Witness, the latest being from 'Kelly' of Box 9081, Bell Block.

It comes from members of the Jehovah Witness, the latest being from 'Kelly' of Box 9081, Bell Block. You are entitled to your views and beliefs, but DON'T try stuffing them down my throat! If I want religion (and I defintely don't!!!!) then I know where to go to find it. This is as bad as the door knocking, cease and desist!

Earlier this month, one of the owners of the store was working behind the counter when a man entered the store and demanded money.
He walked behind the counter to the cash register and took a large sum of money, but the owner very quickly managed to activate the anti-theft smoke canon and the offender fled the shop.
Seeing what happened, the members of the public chased the offender and caught him, holding him until Police arrived soon afterwards.
He was then arrested and taken into custody.
A 40-year-old man has been charged with theft and was due to appear in the Waitakere District Court last week.
The money taken was returned to the dairy owners (pictured on the left), who were very grateful to those who stepped in to help.
A great result and example of people going above and beyond to look out for people in their local community.

We'd love to hear about the great places you've discovered over your summer holidays, whether it's somewhere local or on a trip away. Did you come across a particularly amazing beach, camping ground, town, walk or scenic spot? What made it so special? Any activities or places to eat and drink you can recommend in the area would also be much appreciated. As usual, please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it included in a travel article.
Cheers.

She had four children one a daughter named Sharon Jane Barker who is the person I would very much like to get in contact with. Sharon posted a message on Ancestry in 2002 for any information on living relations in the UK. A relative of mine in the UK stumbled on the message as he was researching his tree which includes the husband of Shirley Madeline a William Peter Barker. He did reply to the message but got no reply, so asked, being as I live in NZ if I could help him find Sharon. So I am putting this out to all of Taranaki and hopefully someone out there will be able to help me with my mission. Thank you, Teresa Barker.

We’ve been dreaming of relaxing at this colourful retro Kāpiti bach which features in our January issue. It’s the perfect sanctuary for its Wellington owners, who find themselves unwinding as soon as they walk through its front gate. Where's your favourite place to unwind over the summer?
