With everyone staying home, it’s now more important than ever for everyone to be fire-safe. People can find information on our website - fireandemergency.nz...

We’re heading into winter, and with households self-isolating together, there’ll be more cooking at home, and more use of open fires, heaters, and dryers - all things which can increase fire risk.

New Zealanders can be confident that Fire and Emergency is well-prepared and ready to respond to emergencies as usual during the nationwide self- isolation period.

Please call 111 if you have a fire, we will ask you whether anyone at the address is self-isolating or has a confirmed case of COVID-19. Where this is the case, we already have necessary measures in place to ensure everyone’s safety including protective clothing, gloves, masks, safety glasses and mask.

Did you know that milk from sheep has more nutritional value than cow milk and goat milk? Sheep milk has been a staple in diets for centuries. In the past, sheep milk was consumed mostly by the wealthy, elite casts in Europe, and was commonly known as “God’s Breakfast”.

Gentle to digest and endowed with a great taste profile, sheep milk has double the protein and much more of the right kinds of fats, vitamins and minerals, particularly calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and zinc, while being lower in sodium.

If you are a health-conscious consumer looking for a natural dietary supplement, we highly recommend NuiBay sheep milk powder. Produced right here in New Zealand, it contains selenium which is essential nutrition for immunity. Sheep milk also contains all 10 essential amino acids – most of which the body cannot produce itself – making it a complete protein source.

● Ethical farming: Their sheep are free farmed on a single 342-hectare farm near Lake Taupo. The company only sources milk from New Zealand’s best sheep farmers.
● Pasture selection: NuiBay’s pastures are carefully chosen and cultivated to be naturally rich in red clover, essential for sheep to produce high protein milk.
● Effective collaboration: NuiBay works with farmers who are committed to their ethical values and the company uses the latest technology.
● Transparent supply chain: The whole supply chain, from grass-to-glass, is readily accessible and visible for all to see.

At NuiBay, they believe that a business is nothing if it does not give back to the community. This year Nuibay is the main official dairy product and one of the sponsors of Round The Bays 2020.

Hi neighbours. Remember police Sergeant Guy Baldwin, who rose to fame in 2009 for his expression "always blow on the pie"?
Well he's back, this time with a message for Kiwis: Stay home and help break the chain of coronavirus.
"This thing (coronavirus) is an invisible dragon. Please, stay home. Let's break the chain and save lives. If we follow the rules, we'll end this lockdown sooner. Let's slay this dragon, and get back to doing the things we love, like eating pies."

Last Thursday night Ray White Carpenter Realty (Beach Haven | Verrans Corner | Glenfield) called 4 Auctions, remotely from our living room inside a bubble of two!

With Covid-19 locking us down this week, the team adapted to a huge challenge of working remotely for our clients & proceeding in hosting our Auctions. Agents spoke to buyers through telephone bidding, while on a google hangouts video call to the screen in front of the Auctioneer.

A live stream was set up with Auctions Live to make sure both buyers & sellers felt comfortable and see what was happening!

Incredibly, the market is still moving with multiple buyers on properties, strong bidding and 2/4 sold under the hammer!!

@raywhitecarpenterrealty committed to finding a way for their clients to transact all within the Parameters of a lockdown!

Along with @apolloauctionsnz, @auctions_live, Ray White Carpenter Realty were the first & only agency to create Remote Auctions online throughout Australasia 🌟

Technology has never been more important, it has definitely changed how we do Real Estate.
