Welcome to the second of this series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with organising and decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

This time we are tackling one of the more challenging aspects of downsizing – what to do with gifts and heirlooms. Whether you need to free up space in your own home or are helping someone else to downsize, this is a task that can feel daunting and emotionally charged.

Although it might be tempting to box everything up and hide it away to deal with another day, that just passes the problem down the road to your future self or to your family.

Fortunately, there are ways to downsize gifts and heirlooms that honour and remember the past whilst enabling you to rightsize your life for the present day.

Hi Neighbours,
Went for a swim at Whale Cove today and came home with an injured young Tui who was sitting on the rocks looking worse for wear and iinjured in some way. Not sure what is wrong but have been able to get it to take feeds of sugar water from a syringe and is resting in a covered cat cage in a quiet room.
I know there is a bird rescue at Green Bay but wondering if there was anyone a little closer to home that takes care of our "in need" feathered friends??
Any info would be appreciated.
Cheers Linda
