Earlier this year I ran a Boosted Campaign and was humbled by everyone's generous support. Thanks to you all I've been able to book flights to Ōtepoti and will be at the Robert Lord Cottage in late 2024 for novel writing and car hire and research. THANK YOU ❤️

This new approach to covid is working really well. We have staff off with covid and just cancelled half our bookings for the week because other people also have covid. So glad it's finally over.
