Hawkes Bay Digital Archives Trust

A big 'Thank You' to Sheryl at the Hastings Library, for drawing my attention to the Hawkes Bay Digital Archives Trust who have an amazing Knowledge Bank online. A wonderful resource, and a clear and user friendly site, that even a Luddite such as myself can navigate.  Well worth a look when you have a spare moment or two.

Our Open Sign Returns.

Thanks to Lee at Black Robyn Clothing .  The old sign has been around since we had Thorntons Screen Printing in Hastings.  It is now having a well deserved retirement in The Shop. Where better!
