Ross’ retirement saw the beginning of his musical journey where his passion quickly evolved from making music, to crafting guitars. It all started when Ross and some mates joined a music group where the camaraderie and togetherness were just as important as the music.
Living in a Ryman village, Ross can continue living life to the full in his retirement because they are places where you don’t retire from life, you find a new way to live .

Ask your doctor, parent or caregiver if you had two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine as a child.
If you don’t know, it’s best to get immunised. It’s safe to have an extra dose of the MMR vaccine.
Some other countries only immunise against measles and rubella. So, even if you were immunised against measles overseas, make sure you get your free MMR in New Zealand so that you’re protected from mumps too.

Have written letters totally made way for emails and social media connections, or is there still a place for the services that a traditional post office provides?
Elderly residents who are not techno-savvy, or don't use modern technology have to travel distances to post their letters.
What do you think is the solution?
Do you still go to a movie theatre, or do you binge on Netflix?
How often do you watch films, and do you think lock down changed the way you choose to get your movie fix? And if you're watching at home, do you still have popcorn? ;)

New Zealand is one of McDonald’s top ten beef-producing markets and it’s such a hit with the rest of the world that a significant percentage of NZ’s beef exports are to international McDonald’s markets.
We partner with many Kiwi farmers who produce our beef, including Whangara Farms which was the first beef farm outside of Europe to be invited to the McDonald’s Flagship Farmers programme.
ANZCO Foods, based in the small Taranaki town of Waitara, are responsible for making our 100% beef patties. About 90% of the staff at the Waitara plant are locals and they manage to produce around half a million patties each day.
Our quality beef cuts are minced and that’s it. No additives or fillers, just mince that is formed in patties, before they’re flash-frozen and sent to restaurants.
The Marlborough Express visited a group of 5/6-year-old's at the Richmond View School this week to find out what they think makes their Mum special. Look out for the article and video with their delightful responses in the Saturday Express.
The message for this year's Youth Week is "We're Stronger Together". The Marlborough Youth Trust has lined up a week of activities for young people between the ages of 12-24, from a movie night to the final rave on Friday night. Which is most exciting?
