Hi, I'm Hayley and we moved to Morrinsville just over a year ago to escape the suburbs. Most people know me by the two kids creating chaos in my wake but I'm also a huge fan of all things creative including knitting, sewing, painting, scrapbooking, baking or building a chicken coop.

Hamilton’s at risk of a shock from jittery global markets just as home building consents and other income streams are already down.

Now in 2023, Dickey has moved to Auckland with his wife Glenda to be closer to their grandkids. Navigating city life brings plenty of laughs, until COVID strikes, putting Dickey to the test. But in true Dickey style, he rallies—older, wiser, and still full of heart.
Starring Gavin Rutherford, who brings Dickey to life with humour and charm.
