GOOD THINGS

Over the past weeks I have been busy and a couple of things I did have reached out to assist others.

Above is a photo that proves I do more than just eat and drink and I do get to exercise occasionally. (I'm the tallest golfer in the group in case you didn't recognise me!) I played in the Malaghan Intitute charity golf day and our team finished with the best girl's team score. With the help of Random House I donated a set of six cookbooks I have written or edited for the dinner auction that followed the golf. After fierce bidding a generous soul paid $600 for them for the Malaghan Instutute's wonderful research work.

Yesterday I received a letter to say the Dargaville Combined Churches Food Bank and The City Mission are grateful for a donation of 100kg of kumara in my name, to be used in the City Mission's Christmas Celebration Dinner. This is a result of Delta Produce Co-op in northern Kaipara appreciating an article I wrote in the Listener about kumara, complete with a couple of delicious recipes.

I feel good!
