Rainy Art Deco weekend

Denise from Marewa

My previous post was about knitwear which may be needed this year.

It has rained on Art Deco weekend before and since this weekend has been unNapierlike, I thought I'd better do a bad weather post.

Raincoats and trenchcoats and umbrellas similar to what we have today. The clear plastic umbrellas that we can buy in the 1-2-3 shops were available from the mid-late 30s. If it's cool too, ladies and girls will want a beret and even wool gloves. Animal prints became popular from 1932 onwards.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
