Time spent in respite care can range from a single night to a few weeks. It provides a welcome break and peace of mind knowing that your loved one will receive round-the-clock care from friendly, experienced care teams.

May Kitchen knows how important it is to provide carers with a break. After visiting her husband Stuart in respite care at a Ryman village, she was tempted to move in herself! “If it was me, I think I would enjoy it because it’s just so beautiful and the food is good.”

Ryman villages provide warm and welcoming communities. Where residents can enjoy activities and outings while forming friendships along the way.

Cox Partners Christmas at the Park with The Feelers

Christmas is just around the corner! We’ve been busy with arrangements for Cox Partners CHRISTMAS AT THE PARK which will be held at Anderson Park, Napier on Saturday, 14th December 2019.

Kiwi music pioneers THE FEELERS will headline the show, supported by the iconic Hawke’s Bay troubadours THE KAWEKAS, and 2019 Smokefreerockquest winner’s indie-rock, rising stars ARLO MAC.

Twenty-five years ago, James Reid and Hamish Gee formed one of the country’s best-loved bands, THE FEELERS and started on a journey writing and recording some of the greatest songs ever written in New Zealand.

The group have amassed some remarkable statistics: a quarter of a million albums sold; five multi-platinum albums; five number one albums; seven number one singles; 5 NZ Music Awards; 3 APRA most played song of the year awards; and more radio airplay than any other New Zealand artist or band since radio stats began in 1999.

Expect to hear many of THE FEELERS hits including Pressure Man, Venus, Communicate, Larger Than Life, One World, Astronaut, Fishing For Lisa, As Good As It Gets, The Fear and of course the 2011 Rugby World Cup song Right Here, Right Now.

The band is promising Hawke’s Bay one of their best live shows yet at Cox Partners CHRISTMAS AT THE PARK. Please join us! The chemistry of great music and a safe, family-friendly atmosphere promises to be a highlight of the Christmas calendar.

One of the event’s most popular traditions is a brilliant firework display choreographed to the telling of the nativity story. However, we are mindful that pets and domestic animals can be frightened by pyrotechnics. For this reason, we have provided neighbours with information on how to care for pets at this time.

Fireworks begin around 9:30pm and run for 10 minutes.

Anderson Park, Napier has excellent on-site parking (a gold coin donation is appreciated for parking). To ensure a family, friendly atmosphere is maintained no alcohol, nor smoking is permitted.

For children there are free activities in the Laser Force Children’s Zone. While concertgoers are encouraged to bring a picnic, a range of food vendors will also be available for purchase.

Cox Partners CHRISTMAS AT THE PARK is a free, family friendly event facilitated by Kaizen Trust with an army of community volunteers. It is funded by sponsorship, voluntary contributions and trust funding.

EVENT DETAILS:
- Cox Partners CHRISTMAS AT THE PARK
- Anderson Park, Napier, Saturday, 14th December 2019
- Performances begin 5:00pm
- Gates open 3:00pm

Took a bunch of kids to Flip Out today for a couple of hours and then back to ours for ice cream and popcorn. Flip Out is a great place to go for a special activity. It is a tad expensive, but they have a ball and no screens involved! And it is physically fun for them too.
We went to Kmart via the sushi shop on the way for lunch.
Thanks to the kind person who found one of our phones and handed it in.
As schools break up and kids, parents and teachers get to have a change of pace and have a rest from the books - I am grateful for the good teachers. The ones who actually do call back when they are asked to, the ones who take time to text you when they know you are wondering how your kids are going, the ones who make your kids feel like they are doing well and the ones who treat kids as people and not just 'bodies to boss around'. I am grateful for the other kids who are good value and good fun and support each other and look out for each other. I am grateful for the parents who make a point of communicating with each other and let each other know things.
And now I am so thankful for the holidays!
Happy Holidays to all you parents and caregivers out there, and to all you teachers out there and all those other vital people who work in schools.
Blessings on you all!
