They are taking customers "back to the old ways", and manager Mel Marshall says "all they want to do is have a chat. It's like the good old days. If they can't carry the milk inside then we'll put it inside for them."
Do you get your milk delivered? Do you enjoy the chats that come with it?

With the market the way it is, due to a shortage of properties for sale, it was a challenge for these owners who wanted to sell their home but had to find something suitable to purchase before they could.
The message is, all things are possible, it's just a matter of finding the right property, the right buyer for the home and perfect timing which is no accident, that takes real skill! If you are in this same situation, choosing the right agent is paramount, so now is the time to talk with me.
Remember, My Promise to you.. "Working with You and for You". So you can't lose!

โ 1. Never light fireworks in dry or windy conditions.
๐ฅ 2. Only use fireworks in wide open areas, away from flammable items such as trees, grasses, gas tanks, and wood.
๐ฆ 3. Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby.
๐ง 4. Children should never light fireworks themselves and need to be supervised closely at all times.
๐งฐ 5. Keep all unlit fireworks in a secure bag or container away from any source of fire until they are ready to be used.
๐ 6. Be considerate and let neighbours know if you're planning to set off fireworks. Aim to finish at a reasonable time.
๐ฑ 7. Keep pets comfortable and secure inside. The loud booms and flashing lights can easily scare them off.
๐ฎ 8. Avoid lighting off fireworks around farm animals and be aware of any newborns or elderly neighbours who may also be affected. If possible, change locations to somewhere that minimises any disturbances.
๐ฟ 9. Be a tidy Kiwi and let's work together to keep New Zealand beautiful! Clean up any any rubbish and leave your spot better than you found it.

For the month of November, we want to raise awareness and work together to end all forms of violence including family harm, elder and child abuse, sexual assault, gang violence, and more. These victimisations affect us all and can have lasting effects that spill into our everyday lives including at work and school.
To do your part this month, perhaps consider supporting a womenโs refuge or work with Police in your area to host an info night on how to identify elder or child abuse in your community. This monthโs campaign also coincides with White Ribbon Day on 25 November which is an internationally celebrated day that aims to prevent violence towards women.
