Pedestrians must give way to traffic - the central refuge is to help pedestrians safely cross busy roads.
If you are a pedestrian:
• Wait until the road is clear to cross
• The central refuge is a place to stop safely midway and assess when you can cross further
• Give way to cars and be alert.
If you are driving:
• Slow down and be aware
• Expect pedestrians at these crossings
• Stay alert, especially on Kenepuru Drive as it's a busy construction zone.

RAW THYME HONEY
• Powerful anti-oxidant properties.
The anti-oxidants in thyme honey are defensive. This means they bind damaging oxidants preventing them from developing into free radicals and causing cell damage. Thyme honey is one of the richest sources of these anti-oxidants.
• Probably New Zealand’s strongest flavoured honey.
A wonderful gourmet treat, a little goes a long way – delicious on french toast and crepes. Ideal for pairing with salty cheese or in savoury marinades. Try it as a glaze on your favourite lamb dish.
• Anti-inflammatory.
Effective at fighting inflammation all over the body due to the high concentration of thymol. If you have a sore throat, try the soothing comfort of a cup of Thyme Honey tea.
• Cough suppressant.
Great for nagging coughs, useful to keep on hand to use as a mucus suppressant.
• Healing properties.
Helps reduce swelling and inflammation on areas of the skin that have been damaged.
• Anti-allergenic
Contains a variety of anti-allergenic compounds that help prevent the release of histamines reducing the frequency and severity of allergic reactions.
• History of Thyme Honey
Originated in Greece and the countries around the Mediterranean and referenced in many classical texts. The herb thyme was brought to the Central Otago region in New Zealand by the Chinese gold-miners in the 1880’s and wild thyme now grows abundantly throughout the arid, rocky landscapes that border Alexandra.

Heya guys,
My name is Rachael and I am 17 years old. I have left high school and now study at NZMA studying level 4 Early childhood.

My name is Rachael and I am 17 years old. I have left high school and now study at NZMA studying level 4 Early childhood. I currently work 3 days a week but I am looking either causal night babysitting jobs after 6:30pm or a regular job on Mondays and Wednesday’s. I have a current first aid certificate for children and babies however I don’t have a licence. I only have learners. I would describe myself as very reliable, outgoing, not afraid to get messy and honest. My current employers pay me $22.68 but I’m happy to negotiate within reason. I finish course at 1 so I will be available from around about 2pm - 2.30 depending on location till maybe like 9pm unless it’s Friday or Saturday night which can be midnight latest. I have heaps of experience with kids ranging from the ages of 18 months to about 11 years old. I can also provide references if needed 😊
Some things about me…
I am great at following routines. I have also done respite care for 2 years and have worked with kids with severe asthma and epilepsy. I love arts and crafts, long/short walks, reading, playing at playgrounds and music. I have completed NCEA level 1, NCEA level 2 and have started Level 4 ECE certificate so I can also help with homework and I am almost fluent in Te Reo Māori.
P.s I can sew and make patchwork quilts for charity so I could even teach someone of appropriate age.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks Rachael

Because it's shaping up to be a nice(ish) day, we thought we'd share another of Graham Stewart's excellent photos to ease us into the weekend.
Same question as last time - were are we?
This spot in the capital city has changed a wee bit since the photo was taken.
Feel free to share… View moreBecause it's shaping up to be a nice(ish) day, we thought we'd share another of Graham Stewart's excellent photos to ease us into the weekend.
