Merry Christmas! Elusions Christmas hours
Merry Christmas to our valued clients.
We hope the season brings you lots of love, family time and happiness.
For many of us its a welcome end to 2020.
Its been a tough year for many and we are acutely aware many families are not able to be together this holiday season. Luckily for us all our children will be with us for our camping trip Jan 4th, including Patrick's 2 from Tauranga and even our 171/2 year old will grace us with her presents. We also have a few extras with some friends and boyfriend tagging along for a family holiday. We suspect it may be more chaos than relaxing as the parents but know with teenagers we are incredibly spoilt they actually want to spend time with us.
Patrick is available for all urgent jobs over the holiday season....all power, heating, ovens, hot water etc.
Non stat days right thru he is working so happy to do any jobs.
In the week we are away from Jan 4th still ring us for urgent jobs we have back up organized.
Merry Christmas
Stay safe every one
Patrick, Shannon and family

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
Wander more, worry less
Few things in life are as enriching as the thrill of travel or the camaraderie among friends. At Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village in Auckland, a group of intrepid travellers have combined the two.
It all began when Bert Sutcliffe Village resident Marie began arranging evenings at the theatre for her neighbours. The theatre enthusiasts soon became close friends and as their friendships developed so did their adventures, expanding their horizons to include long lunches, winery tours, group dinners and adventurous holidays in New Zealand and overseas.
