Kia ora Neighbours!

I am SO excited to announce my next workshop: ✨CONCEPTS FOR COUPLES✨ - launching mid-Feb!

I've found that representations of relationships in our society tend to focus on the initial 'getting together' phase and leave off representing the work, attention and growth that is very much a part of maintaining long term relationships.

...because the story doesn't end at "they lived Happily Ever After"…does it?

That’s why in this workshop we'll be diving into topics covering relationship dynamics, love & attraction - all the juicy, fascinating stuff! So grab your partner or a friend and join me for this brand new online workshop! 😁

Here's what you need to know:

2 dates available:

- Sunday 13th Feb 11am-1pm
events.humanitix.com...

- Saturday 19th Feb 11am-1pm
events.humanitix.com...-02464hpi

Tickets for each date are limited so get in quick!

**Early bird discount available until 10th Feb**

Onga-onga or stinging nettle is an ever present threat in many parts of New Zealand. A light brush with the nettle on your leg or arm, can leave you with a tingling sensation that persists for 24 hours.

Ongaonga has been linked to unexplained deaths of people walking through a dense patch and being overcome. With this mind, I decided to have a go cutting back a particularly annoying patch on our main track to the paddock we call, Waterses.

The Ongaonga bushes were above and below the track so I had to form a strategy so that I would safe. I found a large set of old tree branch loppers (giant secateurs) in the shed and then opted to take a piece of cloth, that used to cover our cool display cabinet in my old café.

Where does the name Viscose come from?

In 1894, English chemist Charles Fredrick Cross patented his artificial silk as "Viscose". He names the material "Viscose" because its production involved the use of a highly sticky viscous solution. The first commercial viscose was produced by the British company Courtaulds Fibres in 1905.

Courtaulds formed an American division to produce their formulation in the United States in 1910. In the USA the name "Rayon" was adopted in 1924. In Europe though, the yarn itself remained known as "Viscose", which has been ruled an acceptable term for Rayon by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Hi everyone,
Hokitika has been named the most welcoming town in NZ in Booking.com's 10th annual Traveller Review Awards.
Would be keen to hear from those who live there or who have visited whether they think the town really is exceptionally friendly. What makes it a welcoming place, or otherwise? Were there any cafes, restaurants, shops or other places you received a particularly warm welcome?
Lake Tekapo and Oamaru came in second and third place respectively, followed by Cambridge, Picton, Invercargill, Martinborough, Kerikeri and Palmerston North. Would also love to hear from you if you have thoughts on these places. Please include 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it to appear in a travel article.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts?
