Welcome to the second of this series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with organising and decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

This time we are tackling one of the more challenging aspects of downsizing – what to do with gifts and heirlooms. Whether you need to free up space in your own home or are helping someone else to downsize, this is a task that can feel daunting and emotionally charged.

Although it might be tempting to box everything up and hide it away to deal with another day, that just passes the problem down the road to your future self or to your family.

Fortunately, there are ways to downsize gifts and heirlooms that honour and remember the past whilst enabling you to rightsize your life for the present day.

3 bedroom home, with garage, garden and preferably fireplace, needed in HNHS school zone (preferably within biking or walking distance). Hopefully before winter.
Needs to be suitable for a cat (house trained ratter).

Farm cottage type of property well suited.

Doesn’t have to be perfect, as long as it’s warm, dry and has all necessary services. And reasonable rent. I’m not looking to pay for someone else’s second home, or be their income source, just needing a home for me and mine, at least until he finishes high school (he starts this year). I don’t want to have to uproot him again. I just want to give him a home he can feel secure in, until he’s ready to go off on his own.

If you have a property that is coming available for rent, please let me know. I have excellent references. I also handle all basic maintenance myself and I have my own carpet shampooer.

Old Fairy lights

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Does anyone have any old, coloured fairy lights, they don’t need or want?
Mine needs some new bulbs and I can’t find anywhere to get them. So I am hoping to cannibalise an old set.

I’ve attached a photo of the set. And when I find them, I’ll attach a photo of the bulbs and fittings.

I’m not worried about matching bulb shape. They just need to fit and be for DC power, not battery.

45 days

I realised, driving to Taradale yesterday (Sunday), in 45 days it will be 1 year since Cyclone Gabrielle wrought such devastation on the Bay and beyond.

There is still so much to be done, but looking around, I can see so much that has been accomplished in bringing Hawke’s Bay back to the fruit bowl it was before.

There is so much new growth, so much new life, and so many new opportunities, that, while it isn’t all hearts and flowers, it’s a new beginning.

Here’s to new beginnings and old dreams finding new chances. Here’s to you, to me, to 2023, and to the future. May it be bright, beautiful and blessed. And may we never achieve everything we seek. May we always dream.

Happy New Year. However you choose to celebrate it and the old. I highly recommend the Fiesta of Lights as a great way.

And goodnight.
