A tasty & convivial day!
We had a great day on our Gourmet Gallivant trip to Katikati & Waihi Beach yesterday. We started with a really interesting talk & tour by Jill & enjoyed tasting the excellent cheese at Mount Eliza Cheese. Paul & I loved the buttery Blue Monkey & Raw Milk Red Leicester. We moved on to Harbourside Macadamias for another excellent presentation & tasting. Yay! They had macadamia brittle, our favourite - macadamia butter, liqueur, oil, plus.... We had an enjoyable tasting of Mills Reef & Leveret Estate wines at The Wine Portfolio & there was a lot of laughter & tall stories on the bus after the visit. We had a tasty Fish & chip lunch at Flat White Cafe before indulging our sweet tooth at Chez Moi Chocolaterie. The White Chocolate with Pistachio & freeze-dried raspberries (GF) was but one of the decadent tastes at this special venue. We'll be redoing this trip every month, but it can also be booked Tuesday- Friday on a date you choose for your own group of ten. Gift vouchers available!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
