Alberton & church/graveyard tours & tea, Auckland Heritage Festival 2020!
Join us as part of the Auckland Heritage Festival 2020 to explore the wider world of Alberton's Kerr Taylors!
In guided tours at two historic churches and graveyards, discover the Alberton connection and some of the family secrets contained within their walls!
Tour one at charming Category 1 listed, Gothic Revival St Andrew's, Epsom will reveal an intriguing, recently uncovered twist in the Alberton saga to do with an elopement. Tour two takes place in the hood at St Luke's Mt Albert, where almost all the Kerr Taylors are buried, and gives an insight into their roles as founding patrons.
Both tours are followed by tea & scones back at Alberton at your own place with plenty of time to meander in the house and garden!
Tickets $25. Bookings are essential as places are limited and will be further limited if Auckland remains in Level 2. For all the details please see the Neighourly or Facebook listings - links below.

Don’t Wash Your Hair In The Shower
It’s so good to finally get a “Health Warning” that is useful.
It involves the shampoo when it runs down your body when you shower with it… a warning to us all!”
I don’t know why I didn’t figure this out sooner!
I use shampoo in the shower when I wash my hair.
The shampoo runs down my whole body and printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning: “For Extra Body & Volume”
No wonder I have been gaining weight!
Well I got rid of that shampoo.
I am going to start showering with Dawn dishwashing Soap instead.
The label reads: “Dissolves Fat” that is otherwise difficult to remove.
Problem Solved✅
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
