The last week has been full of reminders about the big quake that shook us awake a year ago and we’re still actively involved in the recovery process for the people and communities who have been affected.

I wonder how many of you went to the public presentation last Tuesday and had the opportunity to hear how New Zealand is contributing to an understanding of earthquakes across the world? I found it fascinating (and awe-inspiring) but I wonder how they would have answered the sorts of questions we’re faced with!

Come along and join the get together for November. Sadly I won't be able to be at Choice for the November fun - my husband and I will be away on holiday in the Bay of Islands!! I will think of you all at 12.30 on the 28th though.
The plan for November is for everyone to bring along a copy of a favourite Christmas recipe. Lorna is going to collect all the recipes and then I will share with everyone via the newsletter, Facebook and Neighbourly. If anyone would like them sent out in hard copy to their postal address please pass on that information to Lorna and I will arrange that when I get home again.
