warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Pacific/Auckland' for 'NZDT/13.0/DST' instead in /home/annchap/public_html/sites/all/themes/zeropoint/page.tpl.php on line 184.

Well it certainly has been a long time since I have posted anything here and such a lot has happened.

Selling our home

The beautiful historic house in which we lived and have written about here sold in January - 2 weeks after we decided to put it on the market. We have moved out into temperoary accomadation while we build a new eco friendly, energy efficient house where we can be warm. Lovely as it is to live in a historic home with its drafty doors and windows and high ceilings it was way too cold for us as we get older. Osneloc House

 

The Otaki Mail

We have now put out three editions and, tense as it was at the time, all seems to be going well. Lloyd does the layout and I do the books. learning an accounting package is not something I expected to do in my 60s but at least it will keep the brain going. otaki mail
