It is bigger, brighter, with much more activity items catering for the very young to teenagers and swingling adults The "play" area even extends into the bush with an obstacle course.
Thankyou UHCC.
Does it rival the new playground at Avalon Park in nearby Lower Hutt.?
All we need now is a playground constructed for dogs.

Sometimes we get caught up in the Christmas rush, and don’t take time to think about people who may be experiencing a much quieter holiday season. Contact with older people can help families to connect with what Christmas is really about, and it’s a great time to explore memories and think about traditions.
We will posting 5 tips leading up to Christmas on how you can connect with your older people this Holiday Season.
4. Pop over with a jar of jam or pickles or your favourite recipe.
This will give you a good opportunity to have a chat. Maybe you will learn something about your neighbour that you don’t already know. This social connection can be a great chance to explore traditions and share memories.
First time I have ever experienced this at a movie:

Tonight at the Monterey Cimemas complex in Upper Hutt I and five others present saw a trailer of the feature movie we were to see a few minutes later. Was it simply filling in time? But for one of the patrons, the trailer showed her more of the movie than what she tried to see over the course of two hours - she went to sleep quite early on.
And the movie title: La La Land. Indeed.

If you are near the coast, remember LONG OR STRONG: GET GONE
If you feel an earthquake that lasts for more than a minute or makes it hard to stand up, don’t wait for an official tsunami warning. Move immediately to the nearest high ground or as far inland as you can. Walk or bike if you can. Stay there until you get the all clear.
Hi, we are looking for someone to clean a very big, 2 story property inside and out in Lower Hutt before it goes to the market.
There is some gardening tidying to do as well.
Can anyone help?

Special thanks to Elizabeth Anderson of New World Stokes Valley who was kind enough to provide a space in their store for placing the collection box.
There was all kind of stuff ranging from cans, baking supplies, christmas tarts, cakes, decorations and even toys. It shows how every individual was mindful of the recepients.
For those who were contemplating to give but missed this opportunity to be part of the mission, its not too late, some stores have food banks where you can still contribute.
I have attached photos of the collection we made, its not much, but I am sure it means a lot to somebody. Tomorrow I shall be dropping it off to the Wellington City Mission.
Thankyou once again for being someone's STAR, be blessed and have a wonderful Christmas.

We are taking buses to the four corners of Auckland to see first hand how communities are to see first-hand how community-led development is happening across the city. Local hosts will introduce participants to projects, approaches, relationships and success factors that grow resilience, that is driven by and works for local people. And then we will take what we learn into a second day of interactive workshops. Activate is the first of its kind in New Zealand - it's going to be great - click on our link for all the details.
