Living the dream

Colleen Hawkes Reporter from Homed

It's inspirational to meet a family that's taken the plunge to leave the rat race and establish themselves in the country. This couple not only managed to keep their jobs, but also build a stunning house on the Coromandel Peninsula that has caught the eye of NZIA judges.

This morning I received a cold call offering to move my UK pension to NZ.

Here’s some advice.

Cold calling, text messages, emails or visits in person – if someone gets in touch about your pension, and you didn’t ask to be contacted, this is a big red flag. Stop communicating and don’t take them up on their offers.

If anyone knows if cold calling about pensions is illegal In NZ let me know and I will report the company.

Kelly Dennett Reporter from Sunday Star Times

People are diagnosed with cancer everyday in New Zealand, but what about during the coronavirus lockdown? We're keen to talk to someone whose diagnostic appointments were put on hold during alert level 4, and how this has affected you.

Hi nature lovers!

Our weeding bees in I'Anson Reserve in Te Puna will recommence on Thursday 18 June, and from then every third Thursday of the month. We meet 9.30 am at the reserve entrance on Loop Road, just off SH2, very close to the Te Puna roundabout. Finish 11.30am.

Please donate 2 hours of your time to help maintain this beautiful reserve! We recommend to wear sturdy shoes and bring a water bottle; we will supply everything else. If you are planning to come along, please email or phone Kate (in case of unforeseen postponement).

The Friends of I'Anson Reserve (supported by QEII and Tauranga Forest & Bird) had held a very successful weeding bee just before lockdown. These volunteers removed another few hundred tree weeds and palms, and stopped a large infestation of Moth Plant in its tracks. While we were unable to go to I'Anson Reserve during lock-down, we have been planning for the year ahead. A pandemic doesn't stop keen conservationists!

ALSO if you have a spare hour per month, please help us check our trap and bait station network. It’s still in the planning but hoping to launch in July. More news soon.

Cheers! Kate Loman-Smith

GOSPEL PRESENTATIONS
Everything Could Change For You

Offer of one on one GOSPEL presentation and discussion

In the Bible book of Acts, many times the apostles presented the evidence for Jesus being the door to eternal life and eternal joy. At each presentation, some were persuaded and some weren’t. The outlook on life for those who were persuaded was completely transformed bringing joy, purpose, meaning, strength and hope.

Let me meet with you one on one to present the same evidence the apostles shared. Perhaps you will be one who is persuaded and who finds the hope of hopes and joy of joys through faith in the King of Kings.

Have other people noticed that over the past few weeks the way house flies seem a great deal harder to kill with usual house sprays than they were when the temperatures were higher.

Does anyone have any advice on which sprays work best? I have been using Mortein Power Gard, and Fast Knockdown to little avail, The same flies just fly about till I spray them about four or five times, and directly on them!
