  • Update September 1

    And so Spring begins, unofficially but beginning anyway. The Spring Cleaning hasn’t been done but who cares. The BBQ’s due for a quick clean up ready for another season, the shorts never got put away for quite a few, and ‘miserable’ is a state of mind that people really should get over. I guess the next thing to moan about will be the heat and lack of showers over summer. Oh the glare and the wind are always good to pick on too. Get over it and start enjoying four seasons, or go live whe... Read more »

  • Whiritoa Beach Dune Planting

    The word is ‘the more the merrier’ Saturday for this year’s dune planting. Children can help too; just get them along for the start at 10 am at the surf club. Take a spade or trowel, a good pair of shoes and a friend or two to get the job done and then it’s BBQ time for all the volunteers. Great idea, now for a good turnout; and visitors are welcome to help! Read more »

  • Update January 15

    Here we are again on another Friday, with the weekend looming up. Spring cleaning should be well underway ... I say should be, especially when it comes to my place, but hey, it’s the thought that counts, and I’ve definitively thought about it! A frost or two to come and Daylight Saving’s doing the same, arriving in just over a week next Sunday 25 September. It’s a good time to be sorting a little space in your garden, nothing too serious but the rewards are well worth just a little effor... Read more »

  • Update October 19

    Pull out the sunscreen, shorts and a hat! Here it comes ... a long weekend long overdue I reckon. Four and a half months since the last public holiday it’s one I really look forward to.

Now for some nice swells and a BBQ and we’ll be set. Welcome to the place we like to call home. GOLDFEST - A FEAST... Read more »
