Tēna koutou,
Would you like to meet me for a cuppa and discuss what your needs maybe or like me to ring you. I am here to make you feel comfortable with my learning programme and make you feel like you can do it.....

Our itineraries are bold and colourful, so are our tour guides.
We drive scenic roads and coastal highway and have luxury accommodation waiting after a big day. We offer excursions such as Helicopter rides and guided walks and have everything organised down to the last meal, with free newspapers for a spot of reading or challenging sudoku.
We are passionate about bringing like-minded individuals together to explore this beautiful landscape we call our backyard and are ready to go full steam ahead with our next tour the moment it is safe to do so.
For now, we will continue to bring you stunning photography, travel stories and helpful tips during these unprecedented times.
Our team remains dedicated to helping you, so please pick up the phone or fill out our contact form and we will be in touch. We look forward to you joining us and experiencing New Zealand like never before.

Health shop you just wander in ask for what you want, Then at the Doctors they deal with you outside for your injection then make you sit outside while the Nurses all gowned up with masks, but the Doctor not so. Then at the Chemist only 2 people in at once. Hand sanitiser receptionist all masked up and asks Want do you want?? one out next one in. Then go down to Mitre 10 just wander in were I bought 40 Daffy bulbs. I’m not judging but thought it was quite that’s all funny LOL.

There are plenty of ways to keep in touch and support one another over the next several weeks. Just don't forget about those with limited internet or mobile phone access!
It’s a great time to cook for family, and whether you’re dining in or grilling on the BBQ, good food will always be on the menu. But, did you know that half of all food poisoning occurs in the home?

Follow the three simple Cs – clean, cook, chill to avoid getting ill. We all want to keep our friends and families safe, and the 3Cs can help you avoid common foodborne illnesses.

I have to withdraw the offer to use the Ashley Community Church as a quiet reflective retreat. It will be closed for the time being.
Now is your chance to get organised and come up with a plan for supporting your neighbours and keeping in touch over the next several weeks. We've come up with this 'Our Neighbourhood Plan' template to help.

We have a lot of visitors to our market from out side the Waimakariri district and other parts of N.Z. Also a number of stall holders are senior citizens and we do not want them getting infected with the virus and the same applies to all visitors to our market.
We will be in touch with all stall holders to advise when the market will be open again for business.
We look forward to seeing you all in the not too distant future with happy smiley faces.
Take good care out there and look after each other.
Arthur Linnell.
Organiser / manager RANGIORA SUNDAY MARKET.

This wee girl was trapped just over a week ago. She is gorgeous and photogenic. Roughly 10-12 weeks old but no idea of her previous background. In all likelihood she and her brother (Quantum) were dumped in the vicinity of Flaxton Rd/Lineside Road.

In all likelihood she and her brother (Quantum) were dumped in the vicinity of Flaxton Rd/Lineside Road. She urgently needs a home so that I can work on socialisting her brother and I don't want Covid19 interfering with her rehoming chances. If you can have her vet checked, vaccinated and desexed as soon as possible then she will be gifted to the right family/owners. She is a med-long hair puss so will need regular grooming. She will also need lots of love, time and patience in order to thoroughly rebuild her trust in humans. I call her 'little cat' as she is so cute when she sits by your feet and looks up at you. Please message me if you would like to view her. There is no obligation - this is about matching her personality and needs and love at first sight is what I am looking for. Happy to answer any other questions. She is called Banner as when I first saw her it was a case of her tail was coming and the rest of her was following :) Thank you for reading this - please ask around friends and family if you are not in a position to help, Banner needs a home.
