Rowing is one of Judy’s passions, and she’s had great success with it, competing up and down the country since picking up the sport in her 50s. A highlight in her rowing career was in 2017 when Judy, along with her rowing partner Alison, competed in The World Masters Games, winning a silver medal in the 1000m Women’s Pairs.
She currently holds the title of top women's single sculler in the 70-75 year age group in New Zealand and is second in the North Island for the 65-75 year age group.
Adventure is in Judy’s DNA. She’s always up for hitting the open road and exploring the fantastic wilderness that Aotearoa has to offer. When she’s not rowing, Judy loves to hike. And she’s no stranger to several hard South Island trails.
Having a lifestyle this active and busy means that Judy doesn’t want to be worrying about her home while she is away. She chose Ryman’s Murray Halberg Village because it suits all her needs, right down to the location near the water as well as all the safety and security benefits.
“It’s a lock up and leave it situation,” she says.

What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.

Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.
This is the first of a series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with decluttering expert Peter Walsh.
When helping people to declutter, Peter never starts by focusing on the stuff itself. Every item in your home has a story, so the first step is to think about what that story is.
Maybe you’re thinking about downsizing as you approach retirement but still have all the artwork and toys and books that belonged to your now adult children, and don’t know what to do with them. Perhaps letting go of that old sports equipment means letting go of a vision you had of yourself that no longer fits who you are. Maybe you’re holding onto heirlooms you have no use for because you want to keep the memory of the person alive.
No matter what your situation is, it’s easier to declutter and downsize if you start by identifying the feelings that underlie your attachment to your stuff before tackling the stuff itself.

This is the last weekend I'll be opening the pop-up sale. It's being held at 76 Salamanca Rd, across from Kelburn Park, today & tomorrow.
Come by & say hello! I have beautiful handmade festive decorations, jewellery, candles, & more. Lovely new books, delicious baking & a selection of gorgeous vintage pieces that you won't find anywhere else.
I also have a selection of pieces from the talented 'Ruby Crochets'. A Wellington maker who specialises in wearable crochet with a 70s flavour.
Gift wrapping's available, cash & bank transfers accepted. It's a wonderful way to support a creative neighbour, or just meet some more people in the area. I'd love to see you. Mere Kirihimete!
I was never thin enough
Growing up in my family, we all fought over food, but when I think back now, I don’t remember any of them eating stale baking. I loved stale baking because I knew I’d get to eat it all – no one else wanted it. Back then quantity was everything, I wanted more, more, … View moreI was never thin enough
Growing up in my family, we all fought over food, but when I think back now, I don’t remember any of them eating stale baking. I loved stale baking because I knew I’d get to eat it all – no one else wanted it. Back then quantity was everything, I wanted more, more, more.
Alongside this preoccupation with food was a preoccupation with myself. I was a shy, scared, secretive child. I may not have been saying much, but I had a lot of thinking.
Coming into the teenage years I became very conscious of my body. I was fussy about my looks, the clothes I wore and what people thought of me. I had an insatiable need to be liked.
The Northland Toy Library will be open tomorrow Saturday 9 December 9:30-11:45am for RETURNS only as the St Anne's Pre Christmas Fair will also be on.
The last day in 2023 for to pick out toys for borrowing will be Saturday 16 December.
See you tomorrow!

📆 Still on the lookout for a house/pet/plants sitting opportunity from mid December to early January (flexible dates).
🐈I used to housesit one of my friend’s place in Hataitai who also had a cat and plants to care for. I am a responsible gal, tidy, clean, and respectful of rules and places. I obviously love pets and being active so if you have any furry friends it would be my pleasure to take them for their walks/run or swims. 🦮🌱
⭐️ If you're planning a holiday, reach out and I'll ensure your home and furry friends remain in great hands.
Feel free to message me if you or someone you know might need a house or pet sitter. Cheers!
🏡 Preferably looking for house sitting close to town (Hataitai, Kilbirnie, Miramar suburbs since I don’t have a car yet)
