Unmarked graves at Taradale cemetery
I tried to do this last year and someone suggested Richard Dampney has a daughter living in Napier. In order to get these soldier's a marker for their graves, I need to hear from family. Please ask them to message me or email napierwargraves@gmail.com.
Seeking family for the following soldiers buried at Taradale (Napier) cemetery and don't have a headstone. It may be possible to get them one if no-one comes forward but we must first check there is no-one who may wish to object.
Richard Henry Dampney WW2 578787 died 20 August 1990
George Bernard Timlin WW1 64387 died 18 August 1921
John Morrison MacConnell WW2 281537 died 5 September 1998

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition
The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.
For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
