Poll: What's the best Summer kai?

Matthew Salmons Reporter from Christchurch Mail

The weather is, by the estimation of most, hot.
Heat affects everything, especially what you want to eat. Want a big winter roast? Probably not.

But there were successes. In particular the Steady As You Go programme now being promoted across NZ by Age Concern. There are 30+ groups in Christchurch. U3A is an organisation with strong membership growth, that could incorporate Steady as You Go groups into their activities. There is also enormous potential for community groups to engage in health education. This is very exciting, because so much has changed and most doctors, and the great majority of the public, are completely unaware of the new science, driving a revolution of new dietary ideas, and new exercise proposals. Follow the link and EXPLORE, for yourself.

I have been leading these tours to central and eastern Europe for nearly 20 years and most of the tour members are people who have been on previous tours. So there is no advertising, it has all been by word of mouth. The 2018 tour has 30 people enrolled and it happens that two people have just cancelled because of ill-health. The hotels and other attractions are all booked so there is an opportunity here for anyone interested in a tour which takes you off the beaten track, meeting the locals and enjoying folk song and dance festivals on the way. For further details, email roger.buckton@canterbury.ac.nz

Karin from Harewood

Size 37. I absolutely love them but they just too small for my wide feet and have given up the notion of squeezing my feet till they stretch ! I've had them in my cupboard for over 3 year's now .... it ain't gonna happen 😭😭 They retail for over $200. Brand is Softwaves City.

Price: $80
