When was the last time you wrote a letter by hand?

The Team from Auckland Museum

Can you imagine paper being so sparse and contact between loved ones so infrequent that you'd use every last inch of paper when writing letters?

Such was the case in the early 1800s when New Zealand faced a paper famine. Letter writing was essential to keep in touch but with such limited … View more
Can you imagine paper being so sparse and contact between loved ones so infrequent that you'd use every last inch of paper when writing letters?

Such was the case in the early 1800s when New Zealand faced a paper famine. Letter writing was essential to keep in touch but with such limited paper available the technique of 'crossed letters' was adopted.

The writer would turn the page ninety degrees after finishing a page and add a second layer of text.

Harmony Circle - Guest Presenter Sunday 4th August
Mike Kirk: Soul Path Astrology

Venue; Community Hall, 2 Alnwick St (next door to Town Hall), Warkworth.
Open at 6.45pm for a 7pm start. $5 contribution at the door – Harmony Circle is non-profit.

Your birth chart and your health. Having an astrologer examine your horoscope can give you crucial information: About your health. What your vulnerable spots are and how to minimise problems.

I look at the position of your Sun and Moon & Ascendant (decided by your time of birth) as well as your 6th/12th "house."
My job is to give you guidance and advice. Sometimes (rarely) I will let you know if it would be good to get a Doctor's formal assessment (just don't tell him I sent you!)
I aim to give an accurate picture of how best you can manage your health. Not scare you to death!
Planetary indicators are just that: indicators. Your nature may well be written in the stars, but your choices have more impact. These choices are the primary determinant of good health.

I am giving a complimentary birth chart reading to the lucky winner of the draw for this talk.
I do readings from home in Waiwera or, I could do the reading remotely, on FaceTime. Readings can focus on anything your wish, and do not have to be about health. People often have relationship or career questions, or are looking for guidance on major decisions.
For further details contact me on 021 08766686 or email at mikekirk29@outlook.co.nz

Hi neighbours,

Meet the man who has considered Auckland Airport his second home for over 20 years.

Twice a week, 86-year-old Les Featherstone takes a taxi to the International Terminal where he volunteers for four-and-a-half hours as an airport ambassador, or Bluecoat.

Twenty-four years is a long time to hold down one job, especially as a volunteer, but Featherstone says signing up was the best thing he's ever done.

In recent times, the airport has taken on a new meaning for him following the death of his wife last month.

Do you plan to volunteer once you retire? What would be your dream role?
