One year on: teaching online cooking, wine and history and our News
We watch captivated by the spectacle of those impressive America's Cup yachts foiling at 40 knots across the Hauraki Gulf, and at the same time, it's hard not to have a salutary reflection on the last 12 months.
Almost to the day, we were celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the New Zealand School of Food and Wine with special wine tastings, cooking classes, forage and gastronomic dinner for over 75 guests + our students. Many of our Christchurch team, including Lois, Philippe and Victoria had come up for the weekend. My mother-in-law, June Hay had also joined us from her retirement home in Christchurch. By Sunday 15 March, I was getting pretty nervous about Covid-19 and rather than have June stay in the North Island for a holiday, she returned home the next day. A few days later June's rest home went into lockdown and I counted the 14 days to see if we too had a NZSFW Covid Cluster. Fortunately not! See below some photos as we recalled the 10th Anniversary of the Christchurch Earthquakes.

Three lovely black miniature poodle puppies available now
They are 11 weeks old
There are two girls and one boy. We've called them Honey, Heather and Horatio, but of course you can choose your own name.
They are sweet and very bright - they are playful, but also love cuddles.
Each has their own cute personality - Honey is an athlete, Heather is sweet and cheeky and Horatio likes to sit on boxes.
The breeder is registered with Dogs NZ and we can provide pedigree papers for the pups.
The puppies have been vaccinated and wormed.
Message me if you are interested and you'd like to come and meet them. :)
