Dear spring, after a cold and jolly wet winter with lots of people doing it tough, we are oh so happy to see you and your promise of warmer temps, brighter days and new life creating a sense of hope and possibility. I’m sure the new angled parking going in beside Orewa Beach will be put to good use by many of us enjoying the warmer weather over the coming months.
For those of you hoping this spring will bring new work, in this month’s issue we have info on how to get help with costs incurred while seeking employment, as well as increases in government help for first home buyers and, if you want to build a home, we have advice on what to lookfor before you sign on the dotted line with your builder.
If you have kids at school, check out our recipes for a couple of great lunchbox fillers and a nicoise salad to make yourself for lunch, then read about how what you eat effects your gene function, so you can feel extra pleased with yourself for eating all that salad!
