Husband died - free stuff

Hi
My husband recently died and I am giving away some of his stuff. This will be with his blessing, even though he is not here to say so. I would like the stuff to go to people that really value the fact that I am making this effort to be neighbourly by giving away stuff I don't need anymore. Please ring me directly if you are decent people and will use the stuff yourself. Please don't contact me if you want to onsell, because this is deceitful and wrong. This is what being a good neighbour is all about. I look forward to hearing from you.

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?

Marie from Waikanae

If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.

We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
