Womens Group Auckland: March 2021

hope you and your bubbles are well. My son and daughter-in-law worked from home during lockdown level 3 so I looked after Sofia all last week whilst her parents attended meetings and other work. Usually I only look after her on Mondays and we would walk down to Greenwood’s Corner and she would have her savoury and I would have my coffee. Well, we weren’t able to go into the cafe and the first time we walked past it, she almost yanked her straps off the stroller trying to get into the shop. Luckily we went into the butchery and his young son was there and distracted her.

I understand that Jacinda will be releasing Auckland to Level 1 on Friday as there has been no community Covid cases for eleven days, so....in anticipation...

Next Saturday, we are going to Hamilton (written with conviction and emphatically). We will go to Chartwell Square in the morning. It’s been nearly 20 years since I shopped there but Helen thought it might be a good mall to visit and have lunch there. We will then proceed to Hamilton Gardens. Sorry, we missed the special Claudelands market and it is back to its Sunday schedule.

Pick up: bus stop on Great South Road, Greenlane, outside McDonald/ Countdown. Do no park in their customer car park - it won’t be towed but you will incur a big fine.

We will do a pick up at Bombay if required.

Time: 8.30 am

Cost: $20 pp

Face Masks: As we are travelling private it is not compulsory to wear masks on our trip but we think it might give everyone comfort if we do wear them. We will have a reusable mask (courtesy of Women’s Group) and some disposable masks (courtesy of ACCC) for everyone on the bus. Bring your own if you wish.

Please let me know by Sunday if you are joining us - I need to know if we have sufficient numbers. This will be our last trip for this summer (what? it’s our only trip...) .

I’ve asked the Hamilton Women Group to join us at Hamilton Gardens. AND a invitation to our special friend Suzanne Chan-On now based at The Tron.

In the meantime, take care, get out the warm clothes. Daylight Saving ends in 04 April - same day as Ching Ming and Easter Sunday.

Cheers
