Issue 105 - December 2023 / January 2024

 

Your FREE monthly magazine of all things Millwater & the Coast

​

I can’t believe I am already saying this, dear readers, but welcome to our final issue for 2023. It’s been a tough year for many, but as with any year it’s come with its wins and its losses, its heartache and its joy. As we traverse the next few weeks, I hope you all find some bliss amongst the crazy chaos that is December and that January brings us all some warm, lazy days to enjoy.

​

Our team would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has contributed to our pages in 2023. To our dedicated column writers, thank you for being so willing to share your valuable knowledge and expertise. Thank you to all the individuals, families and organisations who have allowed us to share their inspirational stories with our readers throughout the year and a big thank you, of course, to our loyal advertisers, who add their own vibrancy to our pages and help us to continue being a valuable source of information and entertainment to this community we love so much. 

​

We have some wonderful local stories to round out 2023 or for you to enjoy over the holidays, including a profile on the very talented local artist Ingrid Boot, a feature on two young locals heading to the BMX World Champs, a new music academy on the Coast and a review of what you can expect on a visit to Tiritiri Matangi Island this summer.

​

We also have some books to add to your holiday reading list, including the latest offering by former New Zealand Poet Laureate Selina Tusitala Marsh, we have tips on gardening, tips on spray tanning, a couple of particularly delicious recipes you’re definitely going to want to try out and so much more.

 

So Merry Christmas, Meri Kirihimete, Happy New Year.
