Looking to re-home my 3-year-old lab-cross

Ronna from Whakatane District

I'm looking for a new forever home for my dog, JC, as I will be moving overseas in September 2018. She is a 3-year-old lab-cross, a large dog with a great personality.

- Female and fixed with vaccines are up to date
- Will pay for 2018-2019 registration and a one year renewal of vaccines (due end of year which I can pre-pay with her current vet)
- OK on a lead, but better to run around at the beach
- Makes a great guard dog, needs a fenced section
- Plays well with other dogs
- Unfortunately, not so good with cats
- I don't have kids, but I've never had any issues with aggression in private or public or when she's been around kids

Based in Whakatane.

Worst Xmas ever?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition

Kiri Te Kanawa Retirement Village

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.
