Lest we forget.
Today we remember those fallen and we give thanks for the sacrifices they made.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them.
We will remember them.

E kore rātou e kaumātuatia
Pēnei i a tātou kua mahue nei
E kore hoki rātou e ngoikore
Ahakoa pehea i ngā āhuatanga o te wā
I te hekenga atu o te rā
Tae noa ki te aranga mai i te ata
Ka maumahara tonu tātou ki a rātou.
Ka maumahara tonu tātou ki a rātou.

The change of seasons combined with the Northland landscape.🌈

This beautiful photo was captured after Colin (DMD driver) dropped his client home on Saturday.

Truely magical.

Meri Kirihimete / Merry Christmas to you all!

We hope you are having a lovely day with your friends, whānau and loved ones.

Today we also remember our loved ones who are not with us and think of the other people who are going though difficult times and are finding the day a bit tough.

Enjoy your afternoon, eat lots of food, have laughs and create beautiful memories.

Love from the team at Whangārei Driving Miss Daisy 🎄🎉🎄

Mānawatia a Matariki✨

The appearance of Matariki in the morning sky in mid-winter marks the Māori New Year, or Te Mātahi o te Tau.

Matariki is a time to reflect on the past and those who have passed on, to celebrate the present with kai and time with our whānau and communities, and to look ahead and plan for the future.

Matariki is also underpinned by key values, most significantly:

aroha — love and respect for one another
whakamaharatanga — remembrance
kotahitanga — unity
manaakitanga — caring
tohatoha — sharing
mana taiao — environmental awareness
hākari — feasting
wānanga — discussion
noho tahi — coming together
atawhaitanga — kindness
whakanui — celebrations
tuakiritanga — identity.
