Knitting for Charity
Every Monday afternoon a group of knitters gathers in the lounge of Auckland’s Evelyn Page Village for a knit and a natter.
As well as producing a mountain of beautiful knitted items to donate for charity, the ladies provide each other with friendship, support and most of all a good giggle.
There is even a sub-group who meet on a Saturday who call themselves the Knackered Knitters where the ante is upped, the music is broken out and the natter can get naughty!
“Yesterday we were dancing queens,” says Sue, who moved into the village 18 months ago.
“Sylvia knitted right through it,” she laughs.
“My feet were dancing!” adds Sylvia.

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.

Bowen Therapy for back pain
Many mothers suffer years of back pain. Often they tell me that they had pain during pregnancy and it never came right.
They carry their toddlers on their hip, contort their backs to get the baby in and out of the car seat, lift their toddlers 100 times a day.
And often they add a back injury or two over the years.
Bowen therapy can help with back pain.
It can help release the fascia, and allow for reduction of pain and increase of flexibility.
Its gentle approach often allows the pelvis to realign itself, taking pressure of muscles and reducing discomfort.
Are you a mother with back pain? Try Bowen, it might just be what you have been looking for. Contact me via phone, email, messenger, or just book your appointment directly online:
