An impromptu visit by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon to Ryman’s Jane Winstone Village in Whanganui on Wednesday resulted in the largest turnout from residents that the village had seen in a very long time.

Residents who packed out the lounge and waited patiently for a chance to meet the PM said they were ‘very impressed’ at Luxon’s determination to get around everyone who had turned out to see him – even as his team started to worry he would be late for his next engagement!

These came from a Childcare but would be useful in a workshop or maybe for a sewing table perhaps as great size to layout fabric and patterns on. Sure there are a lot of other uses for them.
P.S Legs are extendable so can be taller.
Pick uo in Stanmore Bay or could deliver locally for a little gas money.

Hi Neighbours,
I have a very large 3 work station desk available to anyone who can use it. Comes with divider panels that can go between the 3 desks to sectionalise the areas. Also has power sockets attached to these sectional pieces. Probably cost a bomb when it was bought.
Be great for office, school, library....

Free to anyone who would like to come and collect from Stanmore Bay.
It is in pieces at the moment ready for transport and would need to be
reassembled at your location.
Could possibly deliver around local area for gas money.
Sorry this is the only picture I have of the desk in use so have to use your imagination a bit.
If anyone is interested I can get the measurements and draw a bit of a plan.
Way too good to go off to the dump so hopefully someone has a place to use this great desk.
Contact Linda 027 2261733 if you are interested in taking it.

✨ Feijoa Fun in the Kitchen! ✨

I'm always experimenting with new ways to repurpose the fresh produce that is generously gifted to us, and this week it was all about feijoas!
After washing and top and tailing them, I cut them in half — skins and all—and popped them into a pot with a splash of water and a little sugar. Once they were stewed soft, I mashed them gently with a potato masher.

Then came the fun part: I grabbed my Edmonds Cook Book and used the banana loaf recipe, swapping the banana for the same amount of feijoa pulp.

The result? Absolutely delicious. Moist, flavourful, and that uniquely gritty feijoa texture we all secretly love! 😋

Give it a go — you might just find a new favourite!
