Live-in housekeeper and dog minder

David from Upper Moutere

We need a live-in housekeeper and dog minder for our beautiful property on Bronte Road East near Mapua
Accommodation is in a fully furnished, modern and comfortable independent apartment with its own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and simply stunning views over the Waimea Inlet.
The apartment is offered rent-free in return for help with housework, cleaning, ironing, lawn mowing, and caring for our large friendly dog – sometimes at weekends. Electricity, gas and unlimited fast internet are included.
A genuine love and experience of dogs is vital.
The position would suit a fit and energetic person who would appreciate the beautiful and tranquil setting. Flexibility is critical, so the position would be best suited to someone retired or without other employment commitments.
There are extensive gardens with direct access to the Inlet - perfect for a keen kayaker. There is a swimming pool and sauna to enjoy.
The apartment has been let as a B&B in the past. Google: Applewood Mapua – you will find it on Booking.com and AirB&B. More recently it has been let on a permanent basis for $595 per week. Although probably more suited to a single person, a couple could be considered.
Please apply by sending a brief resume to svgalatea@gmail.com

'Write for Rights', Saturday 7 December from 2.00 to 4.30pm

Sandy from Stepneyville

'Write for Rights' is timed to celebrate Human Rights Day on 10 December. This is the world’s biggest human rights event, a moment when Amnesty International’s movement of ten million comes together as one to take action and stand up for freedom, justice and equality.

Collective action pressures authorities around the world to bring those responsible for human rights abuses to justice, and free people wrongfully imprisoned.

We'll be gathering as we do every year, to write letters and send messages of support to victims of human rights abuses around the world.

Venue: Friends Meeting House, 30 Nile St, Nelson.
Date: Saturday 7 December, from 2 to 4.30pm

Please bring a small contribution for a shared afternoon tea. Tea and coffee will be provided.

Please encourage others concerned about human rights issues to come - all welcome!

RSVP: to Karen du Fresne, Amnesty International Planning Committee Email: kdufresne8@gmail.com by Monday 2 December.

Small grey rabbit found

Paula from Stoke

A small grey rabbit seems to be living at our place quite a bit in Coleridge place. We have been unable to catch it but it leaves plenty of evidence around that it's here. 2 children recently enquired about their lost rabbit but have lost their details.
Please contact if you have lost a rabbit
