MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Merry merry Christmas to each and all of you. Number 8 Network wishes everyone a relaxing, family- and friend-filled Yuletide.
After an unusual and difficult year, we hope 2021 gives you reason to smile. Because if there’s one thing we learned, it’s to look for the small sources of hope and light. Here’s to that.
Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, we wish you a sparkling, bubbly new year.
Look after yourselves, be kind to cats, puppies and cows. Christmas hugs from Annette.
Love this from Anexa vets –
Before we get into some festive things, meet Wayne Good who you will find at the Arkanda Antiques Barn on Whitikahu Rd since opening shop six weeks ago. He’s absolutely loving it in Gordonton.
“The local community are making me so welcome!”
A chef as well, he’s been flat out holding Christmas cooking demonstations as well. In the New Year we’ll bring you a story on Wayne and some of the plans he has. Welcome to Gordonton Wayne!
Here is a lovely Yuletide pic from Great Beginnings Gordonton. (I think it’s an elf turning up the air conditioning unit!)
MacSmith Tires wish all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year – ‘May 2020s upheavals be a distant memory and may 2021 be mint and epic!’

The Christmas spirit continues to be shared all around, and Cornerstone Alpaca Stud held a little party to say thanks to locals. Thanks Cornerstone for your good cheer!
Woodlands Homestead are all decked up in Christmas glitter and tinsel and treats – there is a photo story on N8N but here’s a favourite or two –
Here’s a last pic of two Good boys.
And from Number 8 Network – Merry Christmas to all and to all a Merry Christmas. Here’s Osbourne, our Yuletide Pukeko suitable attired. Cheers!
Merry merry and happy happy. Have the best time. xxx

If you have a Xmas piccy to share, send it in!
