We’ve been dreaming of relaxing at this colourful retro Kāpiti bach which features in our January issue. It’s the perfect sanctuary for its Wellington owners, who find themselves unwinding as soon as they walk through its front gate. Where's your favourite place to unwind over the summer?

“They have all been so supportive when I really needed it most. I wrote them all a personal letter to thank them.”
The 90 year old, who has spent his entire life in Christchurch, says his regular expenses are down due to village living and was immediately taken with the apartment opportunity after a tour.
“The security of this place appealed to me, and it was very warm. I also liked that there’s nothing to worry about, you don’t have to think about getting a plumber in for example.”
The couple’s two daughters and son helped them both move into the village, a downsizing that was far easier than Alan thought it would be. Now with a two bedroom apartment, Alan says he really enjoys having a dwelling more compact than his original family home.
“You’ve got to adapt haven’t you, and an apartment is just so easy to keep clean and tidy. I still have a small garden and I like to grow runner beans.”
With a wool buying background and a stint as a golf professional too, Alan has had a busy career but says he prefers the quieter life these days with enough social activities, like bowls and mahjong, to keep him entertained.
Alan helped to start a village choir that now has 24 members and regular practice sessions to prepare for upcoming recitals. The grandfather of five grandchildren and six great grandchildren (pictured with artwork from one of his great grandchildren Tabitha) says he’s always open to welcoming new residents as neighbours.
“To be free of all that worry of maintenance at my time of life is a relief. Plus we could do with a few more in the choir too.”

Please be aware we have some nice individuals in our neighbourhood that don’t feel the need to work for their stuff and entitled to steal ours. Our car has been broken into today in broad daylight - luckily not much taken but we did have a bag in sight - luckily they will be very disappointed with the paper inside!!!
Keep safe and look out for your neighbours

Is Christchurch lacking Christmas cheer? Are the city’s street decorations perhaps a bit lame?
Watch the video from Stuff reporter Charlie Gates and visual journalist Alden Williams below, and tell us in the comments if you've found some Christmas cheer in Christchurch this year.
Wow... 2020. What a year. I don't know anyone who hasn't been affected in some way by the global pandemic. I certainly could never have predicted that my own life would change so dramatically.
But, here we are - doing our best to thrive in what is a very different world.

But, here we are - doing our best to thrive in what is a very different world.
I hope you've all stayed safe and well and that 2021 will be kinder to us all.
With that in mind, let me help you tidy up all those loose ends from 2020 and get those odd jobs at your place completed so you can start the new year fresh. I know how tough it can be to get help at this time of year, so I'm available throughout the holidays - please just give me a call or text if you have anything you need a hand with.
Happy New Year, Neighbours... we're almost there!
Cheers,
