Seniors Day Out - SDO
SENIORS DAY OUT - Ayrilies Garden
Last week we had a fabulous time traveling to Whitford, Auckland where we first had a delicious lunch at The Lime Tree Cafe, salt and pepper squid, phyllo parcels, chowder and so much more.
We then travelled a short way up the road to the world-famous Ayrlies Garden where we were given a warm welcome by our host Luana before taking a relaxed stroll through the gardens filled with beautiful water features, stretching lawns, and gardens brimming with familiar and unfamilar plants.
To finish off the trim it was ice cream in a cone as we came back into Silverdale.
I look forward to our next trip in April.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Auckland Harbour Bridge summer works
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi is carrying out essential maintenance on the Auckland Harbour Bridge this December and January. The southbound clip-on lanes will be closed (24/7) from 26 December to 5 January for road resurfacing. Night-time lane restrictions will be in place throughout the summer for recoating work on the bridge. Traffic will still be able to travel in both directions at all times.
