I’m writing an article for publication in a mainstream mag about a practical, step by step guide for those looking to upgrade to energy efficient appliances (heat pumps, EVs, solar) If you’ve done this and would be happy to be quoted, send me a message or leave a comment! Would LOVE your thoughts.

Here for this! The library is one of my favourite places to visit. My daughter and I visit at least once per week. In 2025 we will do a visit of all Auckland’s libraries I think!

After a two-year hiatus I’m finally back into reading! Two and a half books in one week is such a nice feeling. What recommendations are there for me?

I need a workshop! My tiny “broom cupboard” space no longer fits The Artisans and I’m keen on a decent-sized workshop that will become a creative hub. Know of anyone with a shed in the backyard, workshop for lease, retail space? Only need is water tightness. Contact Lara: theartisansnz@gmail.com

Nothing better than coming home from having dinner cooked for you, putting your kiddo to bed, then getting into bed with a wine and a book by 8.30pm on a Saturday night.
