Writing for a poitive future

Mirjam from Karori

The stories we tell our children will determine their beliefs and therefore their future. Keep telling the same tales and they'll keep making the same mistakes, generation after generation. If we ar honest about wanting peace, we have to change the stories we tell our children.

ANZAC Day will be marked a little differently this year. We’ll be warm and cosy at home and The Last Post won’t start until you press play. But one thing will be the same – remembrance.

To help us remember those who served and understand what ‘to serve’ meant, Ryman recorded their ANZAC resident’s stories. Some are humorous, others are tragic and eye-opening, but they all offer insight into the courage, bravery, and determination required to serve.

What better way to remember than to read the memories of those who were there?

Hi all, just a reminder to you all. As gutters are an essential part of your home we are still able to unblock and flush the spouting under the lockdown. If the rain is affecting your home please don't hesitate to get in touch.

No face to face contact is required. Just a phone call or email and then online payment once the job is complete.

If it can wait till after the lockdown then great but if they are in desperate need of clearing then give us a call.

Stay safe!

With the evenings getting cooler, we have had a number of enquiries regarding chimney cleaning during the Level 4 Covid 19 Lockdown. Fire and Emergency NZ has received an update regarding chimney sweepers being essential service for health and safety reasons.

Tradespeople:
Tradespeople can do maintenance if it is to maintain the necessities of life or critical to safety. This includes electricians, plumbers and builders.

If you have safety concerns about your fire place or chimney, contact your local chimney sweep or plumber and have a discussion with them on the way forward. They may have questions such as have you got any other form of heating? What are the symptoms/how urgent is the job?

If you have the tools and experience and are going to clean out your chimney yourself, be safe. We dont want to have to turn up to load you into an ambulance or lower you off the roof!
