THEFT of EVERYTHING at Pakowhai survivor's house. Been able to add a photo now...3 April.
Ross Cocking lost everything at his Pakowhai home and business in the cyclone and today discovered thieves have broken in to the locked up shell of the house and stolen his Hot Rod shell, dwarf car trailer, trail bike, compressor and many other things he's spent thousands to replace in the past year.
Anyone seeing anything on the corner of Hodgson Road and Pakowhai Road in the past 10 days please contact us on 021 261 0266 - the Police have been notified today when Ross discovered everything gone today
Please keep an eye out for anything as friends have spent hours water blasting in order to get things back to some semblance of working and he had dreams of having it done up with a small inheritance his Mother left him, and the light at the end of the tunnel for him. This was/is so cruel, and so typical of what's happening to survivors.
Ross Cocking.

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.
