It is getting close to Christmas! 💝 I am baking and delivering this coming Friday - 13th December AND the last one before Christmas: the 20th December.

If you don't want to miss out on a fresh healthy grainy German bread for your festive Christmas table and your menu order through me and I 'll be delivered straight to your door right after baking.

Would it be the naughty fruit loaf filled with dried fruits and nuts, finished off with a hint of cinnamon, rum and brown sugar all in one juicy yummy loaf, or the spiced sourdough Framer's loaf. Or one of the pumpkin seeds loaves.


Order early enough by texting or calling me until latest Thursday late afternoon (6 pm) before the Friday morning you'd like your bread delivered or email me. 021 0252 1343 or brotart.taupo@gmail.com.

Water-saving tips to help you reduce your water use

Gardening
- Water early morning or late evening to prevent 70% of water evaporating.
- Give your plants a good long soak twice a week rather than a short daily water. You will encourage deeper, healthier roots.
- Use a digital water timer with a rain sensor– it switches on only when needed.  

Pool
- Use a cover to prevent evaporation and keep the water warm
- Keep your pool clean, wipe your feet before you jump in.

Play your part. We value wai in the Waikato.

Time spent in respite care can range from a single night to a few weeks. It provides a welcome break and peace of mind knowing that your loved one will receive round-the-clock care from friendly, experienced care teams.

May Kitchen knows how important it is to provide carers with a break. After visiting her husband Stuart in respite care at a Ryman village, she was tempted to move in herself! “If it was me, I think I would enjoy it because it’s just so beautiful and the food is good.”

Ryman villages provide warm and welcoming communities. Where residents can enjoy activities and outings while forming friendships along the way.
