New therapy room for Hospice Wairarapa. What an asset!
A service of blessing and dedication took place at Hospice Wairarapa this week, preparing the new Therapy room for patients and caregivers who will find peace and a sense of wellbeing in this refurbished space. The Rev Liz Greville and Aunty Mihi conducted the blessing after Aunty Mihi named the room Rūma Rangimarie, meaning Room of Peace...so apt.
Bronnie Hutchinson of Idesign has worked tirelessly over the last 12 months to bring her vision to life for the makeover of the Medical Room into a patient and caregiver therapy room, donating all her expertise, time, travel and discounts.
This beautiful space will transport those receiving a wellness therapy to a place of calm and peacefulness.
Therapies such a gentle touch massage, podiatry, aromotherapy, reflexology, reiki, nail treatments, makeovers, haircuts and ear clinics will be held in Rūma Rangimarie.
Hospice Wairarapa are indebted to the Pharazyn and Muter Trusts administered by Treadwell Lawyers and Trust House for grants given to undertake the upgrade and the following businesses for their contribution of donated or discounted goods or services: Rigg-Zschokke, Resene, Colourplus, Mackenzie's Carpet Court, Laminex Group, Trimform Joinery, Plumbing World Masterton, Sparkies, Plumbing and Heating Solutions, NF Plumbing, CE&R, Basford Brands, The Work Room, The Yes Man, Designer Court, Lorna Potter, Poppies at Home and Women Together in Business. Without their support this simply would not have been possible.
Nice lunch and good price.
Many people are quick to moan and complain.
This is the opposite.
I was thinking of getting KFC for lunch yesterday, but thought I would try something a little better.
So, i popped into "The Sultans Boofiya Kitchen" at 308 Queen Street, Masterton.
For $13 I got a lunchtime special of curry ( my choice was Rogan Josh ), fried rice, a big naan bread and a drink.
Got it home and dare i say, it was perfect.
I actually had enough ( for me ) for two meals.
The quality and taste were excellent and I think the value was outstanding.
The staff were also very friendly.
I think their menu is very good and is not all Indian cuisine, so a bit of variety for everyone.
I encourage you all to check them out.
