- Aventura Cove
- Viva Wyndham Maya
- Barcelo Beach
- Riu Palace Riviera Maya
- Iberostar Paraiso Maya
- Grand Rivera Princess
Feel free to recommend anything off the list because again I really am starting from scratch. Your help is much appreciated!!!!!
Congrats! There are so, so many options... glad you found this forum for help!
My Fi and did a fact-finding trip this past July and it was really helpful! We found two wedding coordinators who helped us see 17 locations in 3.5 days in both Cancun and Playa del Carmen. I would highly recommend a visit if you can swing it. Look for travel deals on sites like Travelzoo.com, or even Groupon and Living Social.
As for recommendations... I would recommend looking for a resort that has an adults side and a families side, so that both couples and families can essentially enjoy being in the same place. The Royal Cancun has an adults-only side as well as a family side. We visited it, but it was not for us (I can provide details if you are interested). Another resort with both was the Paradisus La Esmeralda in Playa del Carmen. It is a newer location, and gorgeous! So quiet, serene, comfortable, and luxurious, yet affordable. Unfortunately, if you plan to hold the reception or ceremony at the resort, and you plan to have children attend, then you are limited to options on the family side only. The adults-only side must stay adults-only, even for special events. If you plan to have the ceremony and reception off-resort (like we are), then it doesn't matter.
Another option to consider is a small boutique hotel where you can rent out most or all of the rooms, so you can have as many kids as you want, and do what you please. Two good options are Le Reve (gorgeous!) and Omni Puerto Aventuras (so affordable! so much to do!), both in the Playa del Carmen area. (See my reviews of both here, at the bottom of the page.) Both offer either All-Inclusive (AI) and European Plan (EP, where guests pay on consumption),but not both, i.e., all guests must be on one plan or the other, you can split the group up.
Ultimately, we ended up choosing Hacienda Tres Rios because it's really nice, yet still affordable (feels more expensive than it is-- about $185 per person, AI). I would highly recommend this location, but consider that we were only looking for a resort for our guests' accommodation; our ceremony and reception are at a different location, so I dont know much about what the options would be on-resort for your ceremony and reception.
We also looked at the Fairmont Myakoba, which was AMAZING, but ultimately we decided was out of our price range. I wanted to look at Le Blanc, but we didnt spend the time on it for the same reason.
We have photos and more details I can share on these locations if you are interested.
Good luck! Be sure to update us on how it goes

STAFF at the Victoria Infirmary in Northwich received a surprise gift when The Chronicle and Sayers teamed up to present them with a delicious Pudsey cake.
The special edition Children in Need cake was given to us by the bakers, who asked for it to be donated to a worthy cause.
“We thought the hard-working staff at the Infirmary were thoroughly deserving,” said Chronicle Andrew Bowan.
And the tasty treat certainly proved a hit. Infirmary spokeswoman Ann Harvey said: “We want to say a big ‘thank you’ to the Chronicle and Sayers for the very kind donation.”

12 Nov Delving Deep into Thankfulness
by Denise Caudill Irons, NHI Parent and Board Member
As I reflect on the things for which I am grateful, I tend to focus on the superficiality when it comes to my daughter. For instance, I am thankful that she is happy and healthy. I am grateful that she loves going to school, has a good sense of humor, and is friendly and kind. I realize that although I find it difficult to see her developmentally behind her peers, I am thankful that we don’t have to participate in the high-achieving, college bound track. If she were a typical student, I would have been an awful mother regarding education. I would have pushed and pressured her until she cracked or I did. I am grateful that she makes slow and steady progress; that doing her best is completely acceptable and preferred.
As I took the time to truly consider the root of my thankfulness, the gratitude list became more meaningful. First, I am thankful that I am blessed with ignorance. I always ask for needed services and supports for my daughter. Not only do I never hold back, but also I assume that I will be able to get what she needs. Sometimes these requests take time, but I am patient. On the occasions where I am denied, I change directions and alter the plan. I am thankful that it never occurs to me to limit or to temper my requests.
I have heard and read about many parents whose stories involve someone telling them that their child “would never walk, talk, be independent, etc.” Second, I am fortunate that no one ever told me that my daughter would not be able to do something. At least, they never said it to my face. I am not so naïve to think there weren’t a few people who thought it. Because this was never a concern, I am able to maintain high expectations for my daughter. When doubt creeps in from time to time, I work hard not to let it stay very long. Knowing me, I wouldn’t believe the doctor, therapist or teacher anyway. However, it would plant a seed. I am grateful that I have never been tempted to allow someone’s opinion to change the trajectory of my hope and beliefs for my daughter’s future.
In the early years, I was accused of being in denial about my daughter’s differences. I was never in denial. I saw that my daughter was developmentally delayed, that she had limited cognitive, speech, and fine motor skills. I was reminded of this every day. However, my intuition told me that everything was going to be fine. I knew my daughter was going to progress, and she continues to do so. She is going to have an amazing and productive life. It may not match other people’s expectations, but it will match ours. So, the thing that I am most grateful for is having the strength to listen and believe my own intuition and to block out the doubters. There is no crystal ball for any parent. Predictions are just that, predictions; some become true while others do not. For me, it is a waste of energy to worry about negative possibilities. I would rather spend my energy helping my daughter achieve her potential. Overall, I am truly grateful for being in the presence of this amazing person who is teaching me lessons that I would not have learned otherwise.

Continuing my project the Architecture of Nuremberg [Part 1 | Part 2] (Die Architektur von Nürnberg), this time I really found a very special property, the LUX church. It is the most modern church I have ever seen and set a foot into. When I posted my behind the scenes footage in my Instagram story, several people commented: “It looks like a bar” or “is there beer on tap?”. So definitely, it is surprising how modern churches can be. Especially protestant congregations are known for being a bit more casual and searching new ways to win back a younger clientele that does not only come to church to get married and never show up again. I have grown up in a very Christian environment. Nowadays, I don’t think I really believe in god or anything. Anyway, I still think that this modern architecture and very loose atmosphere can definitely attract a younger audience.
This church definitely is a pioneer project, as the LUX Junge Kirche the first church for teenagers and young adults in whole Bavaria. After a two-years renovation it opened its gates in 2009. I am actually really surprised that such a modern protestant church can be found in Bavaria, the county of old-fashioned and conservative catholics! Such a pleasure to see this fresh and futuristic architecture and design!

… I am the broken window pane. The howling, whistling window holding the panes. The midday shield stopping two forces from fusing. Living in perpetuity. Intermittence is my daily goal. One light shines through me. A shadow casts itself on and beyond me. Yet I hold. Performing a balancing act of light and darkness for all to behold.
Only, small cracks start appearing around my corners. Threatening to destroy me whole. I yield one corner for light and one for darkness. So they may share in my presence: obsolescence and luminescence combined into one essence…

Brixton Metals Corporation (TSXV: BBB) (the “Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce additional drill results from its wholly owned Hudson Bay project located in the Cobalt Camp, Ontario, Canada.
Highlights from 11 drill holes
Drill hole HB18-31 intersected one metre of 3,290 g/t silver, 0.29% nickel and 0.14% cobalt within 2.00m of 1,667.30 g/t silver, 0.15% nickel and 0.07% cobalt from 22m depth
Drill hole HB-18-34 intersected one metre of 1.96% cobalt and 16.20 g/t silver from 80m depth
Drill hole HB-18-26 intersected four metres of 536.50 g/t silver from 45m depth, including 1,285 g/t silver over 1.00m
Chairman and CEO of Brixton, Gary R. Thompson stated, “Brixton continues to encounter very high grade silver and cobalt mineralization around the historic workings at the Hudson Bay mine and have defined a number veins. These high grade results are at shallow depths as stated in the table below ranging from 22m to 80m drill depth. We believe that this area warrants further drilling to expand on these trends. Given the current copper and cobalt prices, the 1.96% cobalt equates to 19.6% copper, which is significant. The long term demand for cobalt remains strong”

The World Trade Center's "footprint" will remain in tact in the redesign to be unveiled today. The bus terminal that was planned there is gone (possibly will be relocated to Battery Park City), and according to LMDC's Roland Betts, "The Libeskind plan . . . is 100 percent intact."
Additionally, shopping center developer Westfield is now no longer going to be involved manage the retail area; Westfield had signed a deal to lease WTC space prior to September 11, 2001. Earlier, we debated whether or not they'd be able to work it out in a Libeskind design.

Since the beginning of 2019, there have been couple of incidents of hailstorm in Haryana and Punjab. The region has also seen good rainfall in January. The hilly states of Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttrakhand have been repeatedly facing heavy snowfall events gripping the large parts of North India in cold waves.
The initial rains and snowfall were seen usual events and considered as beneficial for rabi crops and water demands. However the unusual hailstorm accompanied by heavy rainfall In January 2019 and again on Feb 7-8, 2019 have caused significant damage to standing crops in large part of Haryana, Punjab and Western parts of Uttar Pradesh.
On November 16, 2017, the Supreme Court (SC) of India, prohibited 82 large lease holders from mining sand and stone activities in absence of scientific replenishment study. The ban continued all through the year of 2018 and so were the incidents of illegal sand mining and violent attacks on police officials.
The ban has reportedly hampered some development projects. The prices of sand has increased. Meanwhile the mining department is seen making efforts in exploring Manufactured Sand (M-Sand) as an alternative though it seems there is not much success as yet.

It also monitors 700 Flood sites, information made available through List Based Exploration and Hydrograph View, but no flood forecasting is done for these sites.
In order to better understand the CWC’s flood monitoring and forecasting work, SANDRP has published report of CWC’s Level Forecast, Inflow Forecast and level monitoring sites in 5 zones of North India[ii], North East India[iii], East India[iv], South India[v] and West India[vi]. Through this report, we have presented all the data at one place with links to separate zone wise reports with detailed description.

On occasion of World Water Day 2018, SANDRP put together reports of remarkable water conservation work done by individuals, villager community and organizations across the country.
Good that UN report this WWD says[i]: “The efforts by local communities in India to improve water availability have been lauded in a UN report that highlights the importance of finding nature-based solutions to meet global water challenges…. The report notes that reservoirs, irrigation canals and water treatment plants are not the only water management instruments at disposal. It also cited the example of China’s Sponge City which aims to recycle 70 per cent of rainwater.”
But the UN report[ii] does not mention that local options should be the top priority and should be exhausted before going for large projects. Unfortunately, Indian water resources establishment’s priority is Large dams and river linking. The UN report also does not say that local systems are bound to be neglected and destroyed in the shadow of large projects and where the governance is top down, unaccountable, non transparent and non participatory.

(Above: Anupam ji speaking at the inaugural function of India Rivers Week 2016)
“I need to go and pay respect to the people fighting for India’s Rivers” insisted the weak Gandhian, barely able to walk, on Nov 28, 2016. In his speech at India Rivers Week inaugural function that day, an ever alert Anupam ji with his characteristic wry humor, said if changing stones and electric poles at the ghats, morning and evening prayers on loud speakers is all that the government had to offer to rejuvenate the Ganga, than no amount of faith or funds is going to help the river. We first need to understand from where the rivers are getting fresh and polluted water and see how we can sustain the former and stop the latter.

The SYL Row has been going on inconclusively for over last about 50 years. The matter also has been languishing in SC for last 40 years without any resolution. The seemingly unending disputes have been raising questions in the mind of many as to why the issue remains undecided and for how long the controversy will go on. To have better understanding of the issue we have put together a chronology of the events around the SYL dispute.
On November 10, 2016, Honorable Supreme Court (SC) of India has pronounced its judgment on Sutlej Yamuna Link Canal (SYL). In the decision, the apex court has termed the Punjab Termination of Agreements Act 2004 invalid and ruled that Punjab is bound to share Ravi-Beas river waters with Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jammu and Kashmir and Delhi. The court has also ordered Punjab to comply with its two judgments for completion of the SYL canal.
It was certainly a Conference of Party (COP) of sorts. Those present included farmers, women, academics, media persons, delegates from other states (Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi), Non Government Organisations and elected representatives. It also happens to be an annual event that has been going on for 27 years. It was certainly celebrating the work that actually helped mitigation and adaptation in changing climate in both drought and flood related possibilities. It was also happening on the same dates as the COP 19 was going on far away in Warsaw, Poland.
It was an honour for me to be present at Nagar village in Malpura block in Tonk district in Rajasthan at the 27th annual Dharati Jatan conference where the Pad Yatra from two different streams that culminated. Five eco warriors were honoured at this meeting with a certificate, silver medal, shawl and other ceremonial gifts. They were being honoured for their work related to tree plantation, soil and water conservation and protection of grazing land.
As speakers at the conference on November 16, 2013 narrated, this annual festival is a remarkable achievement by the Gram Vikas Nav Yuvak Mandal at Laporiya in Dudu block in Jaipur district, led by Laxman Singh, now famous for his grazing land protection through the unique chauka system.
Experience of the marchers The leaders of two streams of marchers presented their experience. Rameshbhai Saini, leader of the first stream that marched through the 15 villages of Dudu block (Jaipur district) also mentioned the difficulties people are facing. For example, he mentioned how Phulsagar, one of the tanks in Laporia is encroached and communities’ efforts to remove the encroachment did not succeed as the encroacher had the support of the Rajasthan minister Babulal Nagaur who is also the member of the Legislative assembly from the local area.
Ramjilalji, the leader of the second stream that walked through Malpura block villages (Tonk district) starting from Sindolia village, also said that encroachments on tanks are increasing under political support and when volunteers try to remove such encroachments to save the water bodies, they are faced with court cases. He also said that the state government is laying long distance pipelines and building cement containers to bring the water from mega dam Bisalpur to the villages in the area. He very pertinently asked, will we allow our water harvesting culture to be destroyed since now we have this piped water supply? Reflecting unconvincingly on this dilemma, the letter from state government’s principle secretary Purushottam Agarwal (he was supposed to come for the function, but had to travel elsewhere due to some family emergency and hence sent a letter) suggested that the pipelines are only for drinking water and tanks that the GVNML has helped build are for irrigation and other purposes. The fact is that the state government made no effort to consult the people before coming up with the pipeline scheme. Kesarbhai, active in Mahoba district in Uttar Pradesh described the Apna Talab Abhiyaan through which already 70 talabs (tanks built with earthen bunds) have been built in less than a year.
Participants from other states Pankaj Shrivastava from Mahoba appreciated that communities in GVNML area have system of imposing fines when anyone is caught polluting the lakes (as reflected in the wall writing in the photo below at the Nagar village tank).
He also said that the communities in their area is trying to clean up Kiratsagar lake in Mahoba through a focused campaign since Oct 5, 2013. Mavjibhai from Vivekanand Research & Training Institute, Bhuj (Kutch in Gujarat) said that they plan to take up implementation of chauka system in 55 villages along the 60 km long Rukmawati river in their area.
The Awards The five awards presented on this occasion were indeed very well deserved ones. The managing committee of Akodiya village (Dist Ajmer) was recognised for the tradition of collective management of common property resources including grazing land and water harvesting systems.
Rajjak Sheikh of village Tikel (Block Dudu in Jaipur district) was honoured for planting long living trees like peepal, Banyan, neem and other local varieties along the tank embankment over the last five years through his own efforts. He also got the fisheries contract given for the village tank canceled and got some of the hunters caught at his own personal risk.
Next, Shravanlal Jaat, a shepherd of village Kalyanpura (Dudu, Jaipur) was given the Dhudhad Ratan prize for consistently planting large number of trees in grazing land and along the village tank with his own personal effort and expenses for more than five years and also taking care of the planted trees.
Efforts of Umrao Godha, a relatively rich man of village Jhirota in Ajmer district were recognised for transforming the village with institutions like school, health centre and also for planting and taking care of large number of villages. Enthused villagers elected him as village head.
Khivsingh Rajput, an old man of Bikhraniya Kalan village from relatively far off Nagaur district (Marwad area) was also honoured for his 20 year old campaign in the village to plant long living Banyan and other trees in very dry area. He also inspired people to donate money and collected Rs 5 lakhs to deepen, renovate and strengthen the village tank.
Relevance for climate change The work of GVNML in the region is remarkable in many respects. The water conservation work helps recharge the groundwater and this water is then available in years of deficit rainfall, the frequency of which is bound to increasing in warming climate. Similarly, the whole area has created such a remarkable water conservation system that even when rainfall is excessive, this area will not face any floods since the water will be stored and only slowly released. The soil here has increased carbon content which also helps hold the moisture much longer, thus helping overcome the dry spells which has also increased in recent years. Thus it is clear that the that is underway over the last over three decades under GVNML has huge implications in the climate change context. The COP 19 talks at Warsaw remains deadlocked, waiting for some façade to emerge to show progress, this different COP 27 at Nagar shows so much progress is possible when the communities are at the helm of the affairs. It is doubtful though that the lessons from COP 27 at Nagar will have any impact on COP 19 at far away Warsaw.

What Causes Rapid Labor?
For most women there will be a considerable wait between each stage of labor and delivery. However, some women go into rapid labor, and give birth much sooner than expected.
Every pregnancy is different, and so is every birth. Nature plays by its own rules. Although rapid labor is completely natural, it can have certain disadvantages.
The process of birth takes place in three parts: active labor, birth and delivery of the placenta. Each of these stages can take more or less time, but in general, women will take between 6 and 18 hours to give birth.
When rapid labor occurs, however, all three phases take place within around five hours. As the name suggests, this is a process that happens fairly quickly.
In many cases, this is ideal, but it can also lead to difficulties. In this article, we will explain how rapid labor occurs and what the complications may be.
Signs of rapid labor
For a woman to go into rapid labor, a set of specific conditions must exist. For example, the uterus must be efficient enough to produce strong contractions.
The baby is often smaller than average. This means that rapid labor can’t occur in every pregnancy.
Every contraction brings me closer to my baby
There are certain signs to determine whether labor is progressing rapidly or not. Labor may begin rapidly, but may not necessarily end that way.
The signs of rapid labor are:
- Intense contractions from the start. The time between each contraction is very short, to the point where there is no time for the mother to recover in between.
- Continuous pain that feels like one long contraction and doesn’t subside.
- Sensation of pressure and pushing without any warning. This is because the baby begins pushing to come out. This may feel like a bowel movement.
- These symptoms may not always be in time with the dilation or effacement of the cervix.
Complications associated with rapid labor
Experts believe that women who have already gone through a birth that has progressed rapidly are more likely to do so again. That is, one of the main factors in rapid labor is a mother who has already had a quick birth.
Other conditions associated with rapid labor include a uterus that produces efficient contractions.
Given that it isn’t possible to predict rapid labor until it’s happening, the main difficulty can be the emotional stress involved.
Women who are giving birth can lose control of the situation, particularly if it’s the first time. It can also be difficult for healthcare staff to manage the birth.
As we’ve said, every stage of the process of birth takes time. In general, progress is gradual. This allows doctors to apply strategies to combat any possible complications.
In this sense, both the mother and the doctors can have problems managing the situation when labor goes ahead very quickly.
Another obvious complication may be the time and place at which this process occurs.
The mom-to-be may realize that, given how rapidly labor is progressing, there is no time to get to the hospital or birth center.
This may mean that she needs to give birth right where she is, without the help of a doctor or the right medication.
In addition to the issues mentioned above, the following complications may also occur:
- Higher risk of a tear or laceration in the birth canal or cervix
- Giving birth somewhere that isn’t sterile
- The baby may be at risk of infection, depending on where the birth occurs
- Possibility of vaginal or uterine hemorrhage
- Dropping the baby
- Perinatal asphyxia
- Risk of aspiration of amniotic fluid
- Craneal trauma in the baby
- Extended period of postpartum recovery due to the shock of rapid labor

We got a new gas cooker and my oven is once again functional! Let me tell you, I was extremely excited when it came and couldn’t stop turning it on and off again and marvelling at the working oven!
Do you know how hard it is to cook regularly and various meals when you don’t have a working oven? Can you imagine how starved I was for a simple strudel? Well, starved enough to make it my first oven-dish in over 9 months!
As you’ll see, my spinach and feta strudel is far from elaborate or fancy. It is quite easy to cook and makes for a great quick dinner.
Serves: 4 | Time: 45 Min | Sides: Yoghurt sauce and green salad
- 1 bag of frozen leaf spinach
- 1 pack of feta
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 pack of puff pastry
- (salt, pepper)
- Heat (and thaw) the spinach in a pan – make sure that it doesn’t burn – and add the cleaned and chopped up garlic
- When the spinach is completely defrosted, let it cool off for a bit and press out the juice
- While you are waiting for the spinach to cool off, cut the feta into stripes or small cubes
- Roll out the puff pastry and put the (pressed out) spinach in the middle
- Put the feta on top of the spinach and fold the pastry to the middle until it overlaps and won’t break apart in the oven
- Bake for 15-20 Minutes until the dough is brown
I put salt and pepper in brackets above, because I feel that you don’t really need to spice feta up any more since it’s already so salty but if you like it a bit spicier, feel free to salt and pepper the spinach to taste!
I also love to eat my strudel with some yoghurt sauce. For this sauce I use one greek yoghurt cup and I spice it with garlic and other herbs until it tastes about right (there is no real recipe). And don’t forget the salad, which makes this rather heavy dish a bit lighter and gives everything a refreshing touch!

Historic and picturesque North West Tasmanian Coast
It may seem strange to mention Tassie and beaches in the same sentence, but the fact is, Australia’s smallest state boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Lapped by the crystal-clear waters of Bass Strait, the North West region shelters many sugar-white strands, bookended by rocky headlands and backed by verdant hills that stretch inland to Cradle Country.
You’ll need a couple of weeks, preferably in the summer months, to experience all that this remarkable region has to offer — spectacular geology, Indigenous culture, colonial history, busy ports, penguin rookeries and so much more.
For many travellers from the mainland, the journey to the Apple Isle begins at Geelong as they board the trans-Strait ferry, Spirit of Tasmania, for the 10-hour voyage to Devonport. As well as being the ‘Gateway to the North West’, the City of Devonport is the region’s largest port and service centre for the agricultural districts that surround it. This vibrant seaport straddles the mouth of the Mersey River, 100km north-west of Launceston.
Overlooking the western side of the approach is Mersey Bluff, a volcanic relic of the Jurassic Age (185 million years ago), rising on 30-metre cliffs to a lighthouse with distinctive vertical red stripes along its gleaming 16m tower. It was on this headland, in 1929, that a local teacher discovered Aboriginal rock carvings, estimated to be 10,000 years old, depicting abalone, crayfish, periwinkles, an emu and a seal. These are accessed by a 1km circuit that also takes in two midden sites.
In the lee of the headland, Mersey Bluff Beach is a popular venue for locals and holidaymakers. The Mersey Bluff Caravan Park is located nearby, as is the Bass Strait Maritime Museum in the former Harbour Master's House. Flour Mill Bay, on the other side of the river mouth, encloses East Devonport Beach, which is a short walk from the Abel Tasman Caravan Park. Located just 800m north of the Spirit terminal, this spacious park is a handy option for catching the early morning ferry.
Heading west from Devonport, the Bass Highway passes through Ulverstone, on the River Leven, and soon diverts onto Penguin Road (the old Bass Highway), which hugs the coast on a scenic route to the delightful seaside town of Penguin. Named for the little penguin rookeries that are common along this stretch of the coast, the town celebrates these diminutive seabirds with images on light poles and litter bins, and the 3.15m ‘Big Penguin’ statue in the centre of town.
Beecraft Point, at the northern end of Penguin Beach, has a boat ramp, while further west, Preservation Beach is a popular venue for swimming and the occasional right-hand surf break in front of the surf club. The compact Penguin Caravan Park lies adjacent to Johnsons Beach.
Burnie, 50km west of Devonport, is a key commercial centre and major port serving the manufacturing, forestry and mining industries of the North West region. With a deep-water harbour on Emu Bay, Burnie is Tasmania's largest general cargo and container port, with a special facility for woodchip exports.
Top of the must-see list is the superb Makers Workshop, housed in a spectacular award-winning building at the western end of West Beach. Part museum, part gallery and arts centre, this futuristic structure accommodates more than 20 local artisans who create textiles, jewellery, ceramics, paintings, woodwork, glassware and paper products. A licenced café on site offers the region’s finest produce and seafood.
Another stand-out attraction is the Burnie Regional Museum, which contains one of the largest collections of folk and cultural memorabilia in Tasmania, showcasing Burnie’s development from its agrarian roots in the 1800s to the industrial boom of the 20th century.
Just 20km west of Burnie, travellers arrive at Wynyard on the Inglis River. From the river mouth, East Wynyard Beach forms part of a particularly beautiful stretch of coastline with panoramic views across Freestone Cove towards Table Cape. Rated as ‘one of the prettiest caravan parks anywhere’, Beach Retreat Tourist Park is nestled between the beach and the river within easy walking distance of both waterfronts and the town centre.
Wynyard is an important regional hub and holiday destination, offering beach activities, ocean and river fishing, waterside walks and scenic drives through a picturesque landscape that includes the unique landmarks of Fossil Bluff and Table Cape.
Guarding the northern end of Freestone Cove is the imposing bulk of Table Cape, five kilometres from Wynyard. Named by Matthew Flinders in 1798, this flat-topped promontory is what remains of a lava lake that pooled in a volcanic crater about 13 million years ago. Erosion has stripped away the crater’s soft, sloping sides to expose the basalt core that now towers 170m above the sea.
Roughly circular and about 1.5km in diameter, the Cape’s plateau is covered in fertile volcanic soil and is heavily cultivated for crops and grazing. A premier attraction in spring is the Table Cape Tulip Farm. On the seaward edge of the plateau stands the Heritage-listed Table Cape Lighthouse. Built in 1888, it is the only operating lighthouse open for public tours (September–April) in Tasmania.
Boat Harbour Beach
A 10-minute drive from Wynyard brings coastal tourers to Boat Harbour Beach, possibly the most beautiful village and beach in Tasmania. More a locality than a town, this tiny ramshackle community tumbles down a steep forested hillside to a postcard-perfect beach looking out onto Bass Strait. Sheltered between rocky headlands in a north-facing cove, the crescent of powdery white sand is lapped by sapphire-blue waters of exceptional clarity — well justifying its frequent inclusion among Australia's Top Ten beaches.
Few businesses operate in Boat Harbour — some B&Bs, a shop with fuel and a beachside bar and café. The main attraction is the beach whose usually placid waters are ideal for family-friendly aquatic recreation: safe swimming in the patrolled surf, diving and snorkelling around the inshore reefs, fishing off the rocky points, kayaking, paddle-boarding and exploring the tidal pools. The Boat Harbour Beach Caravan Park has cabins and offers powered sites for small–medium vans and grassy space for campers.
Rocky Cape NP
Thirty kilometres north-west of Wynyard, the Rocky Cape National Park encompasses 3000 hectares of stunning coastal scenery — rolling hills that sweep down to a jagged coastline of windswept headlands interspersed with tranquil bays and small, secluded beaches. For such an exposed location, the Park harbours an amazing diversity of vegetation, especially wildflowers that produce colourful displays in spring and early summer, attracting a wonderful array of birdlife.
The Park forms part of the traditional lands of the Peerapper Aboriginal people and several rock shelters and caves bear witness to their continuous occupation here for over 8000 years. North Cave and South Cave are two of the most significant habitation sites, containing huge midden deposits of shells, seal and fish bones, stone tools and charcoal. Though small and only for day-use, Rocky Cape offers visitors a rich and varied experience that includes swimming, diving, fishing, boating and beachcombing, as well as bushwalks that range from 20-minute strolls to half-day circuits and eight-hour treks.
The most northerly settlement along the coast, historic Stanley lies at the end of a sandy isthmus, nestled against the base of Circular Head. Known locally as ‘The Nut’, this massive headland was formed about 13 million years ago as the core of an active volcano and later exposed by erosion to stand 152m on sheer cliffs above the surrounding ocean. This extraordinary landform can be ascended by a steep walking track or a relaxing five-minute ride on a chairlift, to a plateau with panoramic views of Bass Strait and the surrounding countryside.
Tatlows Beach is a long, shallow bar facing Sawyer Bay on the eastern side of the isthmus. It’s usually a low-energy beach but strong tidal currents sweeping along it can be hazardous. The Stanley Cabin and Tourist Park is located just behind the beachfront. Protected from strong westerly winds in a small cove to the north of the town, Godfreys Beach is better for swimming, surfing and fishing, but waves breaking at low tide can produce rips. The headland at its southern end hosts a Little Penguin rookery.
The town is a beautiful place to wander, with many fine heritage buildings and well-maintained weatherboard cottages forming a colourful streetscape sprinkled with craft shops, cafes, galleries and boutique accommodation. A good place to start is the Stanley Discovery Museum, which houses a wealth of relics, antiques, memorabilia, photographs, and documents that narrate the town’s history.

London is a city full of beautiful attractions. But it's also home to some fascinating neighborhoods with their own charm and personality.
One such neighborhood captivated me with its exclusivity, laid-back vibe, and, most importantly—its beautiful view.
Today, I'm going to explore Primrose Hill in London and share my guide to living in one of the quaint landmarks.
Primrose Hill is a district of the London Borough of Camden in northwest London. It's named after the eponymous hill in Primrose Hill Park. One part of this town that I really like is Regent's Park, which I think is one of the most beautiful urban parks in Europe.
You probably want to get to Primrose Hill in style. But, if you're driving a car, be aware that the streets are narrow, and most free parking is on residential streets -- so make sure not to block driveways.
If you're looking for a more scenic route, consider walking through Regent's Park or Camden Town on your way—you'll be able to enjoy the view along the way!
You can also get around Primrose Hill by tube. The closest stations are Camden Town on the Northern Line, Chalk Farm on the Northern Line, and Swiss Cottage on the jubilee line.
When you're searching for a new place to live, you want to make sure that it will be the perfect fit for your needs. In Primrose Hill, there are several different housing types available. The most common type is the terraced house.
But if you're like me who prefers a little more space, then there are also detached and semi-detached houses available.
If you plan to settle near Central London but prefer a tranquil and peaceful neighborhood, Primrose Hill would be your best bet.
Another great thing I love about Primrose Hill is the diverse population, including young families, professionals, and artists, drawn here by its proximity to central London and its great public transport connections.
It is one of London's most ethnically diverse areas. In fact, it has the highest proportion of ethnic minority residents in its population in all of London.
The area is full of lovely cafés and restaurants within walking distance—and if you fancy an afternoon out in nature, Hampstead Heath is just around the corner!
Primrose Hill also prides itself on vibrant culture and top-notch schools. Primrose Hill Primary School, a co-educational school with a nursery and a junior school located at the top of Primrose Hill, is known for its excellent education for young minds.
Some of the best schools in London are nearby—Haverstock School in Chalk Farm and Regent High School in Camden.
If you are looking for a place with many green spaces, Primrose Hill is a great option. There are plenty of parks and open spaces to enjoy here, including:
For those who prefer arts and culture attractions, I will vouch for Primrose Hill as it is home to many, including the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, which hosts a variety of performances throughout the year. It's also just a short walk to London Zoo, making it an ideal destination for families with children looking for something fun and educational to do.
If you're interested in learning more about London's history, Primrose Hill is near several museums that provide insight into life in this fascinating city. The Sherlock Holmes Museum takes you a step back in time and enters a world of gaslight, Victorian curiosities, and many objects, letters, and characters from Sherlock Holmes' most famous cases.
Primrose Hill is on top of my list whenever I think about settling with family. It's about as good as London if you're a parent. It's an easy walk to the local schools and shops, and even closer to parks.
If kids are too old to enjoy any of those things, there's still plenty to do on their own. The area has a lot of independent shops selling music and art supplies – perfect for teenagers who feel like having a few extra pounds added to their bank balance each month.
Well, before jumping into that decision, it's important to be aware of the current state of the market.
The pandemic has caused many people to seek greener outdoor spaces, which is not surprising. According to an article from Financial Times, Savills' index says that homes in Primrose Hill have increased by 5.6 percent in the past 12 months, less than the 1.4 percent average rise across central London.

Primrose Hill is a neighborhood in London that has long been regarded as one of the best places to live.
While it might not be the most affordable neighborhood in London, its history, exclusivity, and unique charm make the price all worth it. No wonder it's one of London's sought-after places.

Another Giant Leip For Fankind
I would be remiss in my duties if I did not follow up my post about Lancaster’s “One Giant Leap for Fankind” promo with this bit of news that has recently emanated from Central Pennsylvania:
In recognition of their manager, Tim Leiper, the Altoona Curve have announced that they will be celebrating “Leip Year” all season long! The 2008 campaign is Leiper’s third as Curve manager, but the first that has occurred on an honest-to-God “Leip” Year. Accordingly, the club is pulling out all the stops in order to fully recognize this exquisite confluence of events.
Leiper is on board with this promotion, and has even agreed to change his uniform number to 29 (in order to honor February 29, of course).
“My only concern is that I hope the jersey fits because if not, I might be forced to go on an emergency diet before the start of the season,” remarked the fortuitously-named skipper in the Curve’s press release.
During the season, if any contest becomes a “Leip game” (extra innings), then all fans who stick it out to the end of the evening will receive a 29% discount at the team store. Also, the club will stage a “Leip Batter” contest during each home game. If the 29th Curve batter of the evening hits a home run, then one lucky fan will receive a generous prize package. Finally, the team has announced that it will be adding “Leip Frog” to its regular rotation of between-innings games and contests.
Leip Year mania will reach its apex early in the season, as April 29th will be “Leip Year for Leiper
Night” at Altoona’s Blair County Ballpark. This promotion is, in a word, brilliant. I will now revert to list form in order to convey this brilliance to you in as easily digestible a manner as possible.
— All those born on Feb. 29th will be admitted to the ballpark for free, and will have the honor of throwing out a ceremonial first pitch to “Leip” himself.
— The first 150 fans to buy a ticket in section 29 (the “Leip” section) will receive a 29% discount. They will then be saluted every four innings.
— Fans are encouraged to wear #29 sports jerseys to the ballpark.
— Famous “Leaplings” (those born on February 29) will be honored all game long.
— If any player is batting .366 upon the conclusion of the ballgame, he will be awarded $366 by the Curve (this, of course, is in honor of the fact that there are 366 days in a “Leip” Year).
— Throughout the game, the team will pay tribute to events that occur every four years (such as the Olympics).
Phew. I believe that I have semi-plagiarized the team’s press release enough at this point, and will now retire to my offseason lair. Before I go, let me engage in a little self-promotion: Friday’s Minoring in Business article on Harrisburg Senators GM Randy Whitaker can be found here, while the latest installment of our new “At Home With” series can be found here. In the article’s sidebar, I was able to include a mention of legendary guitarist Glenn Branca, one of the most influential figures in NYC’s underground rock scene of the late 70s and early 80s. I highly recommend purchasing 1981’s Ascension, which is a truly visionary record.

Engaging girls and boys to achieve gender equality in Northern Morocco
In northern Morocco, certain areas of Larache province experience severe social problems such as poverty, drug use, and widespread and entrenched gender discrimination. The situation in these neighborhoods might be bleak were it not for the efforts of local organizations like Association Mhashass Pour le Développement Humain, based in the city of Larache.
Working in partnership with UN Women’s Men and Women for Gender Equality programme, Mhashass conducts a range of activities from education to vocational training to theatre and sports to fight women’s unemployment and illiteracy, and to combat gender stereotypes.
“Mhashass is a neighborhood in Larache. I’ve lived there my whole life,” said Latifa Talidi, founder and Executive Officer of the association. “It used to be a prosperous neighborhood. But as northern Morocco’s economy declined, the area became a slum where kids are using drugs out of desperation.”
Reaching out to rural women has been a key part of the Mhashass approach. “We created a strategy: the first thing we had to do to help women in the province was end illiteracy. So we partnered with the Ministry of Education to offer courses on reading and writing to local women and we opened a center to teach weaving, pastry making, and hair styling. When they graduate from our center they receive a diploma, which they use to find jobs.”
In line with UN Women’s programme, Mhashass prioritizes the role of men as advocates for gender equality. “We work with UN Women to provide awareness-raising sessions in high schools for boys, and we offer trainings on masculinities and gender equality with the participation of UN Women across schools in the area,” Latifa said.
“Of the many men who we have sensitized to gender equality concepts, we’ve taken 24 young men and trained them to become training facilitators. These young men had originally been particularly resistant to our discussions on gender roles and domestic violence. They thought a woman staying at home to cook was natural, and domestic violence was a private affair. They used religion as a justification. But over time these ones ended up becoming the most ardent supporters. They are now role models for other young men in the community.”
Then there was the story of Atiqa, a girl who came from one of the rural areas around Larache city. She was from a poor family that was deeply unequal, where the daughters supported the father financially. Mhashass invited her to one of the training sessions on gender roles and masculinities after finding her in a school they were working in.
“After the trainings we gave, she bloomed. She rapidly grasped all the ideas of positive masculinity and gender equality,” said Latifa. “She can get up in front of a room and explain them to anyone now. She’s the first in the class. After the trainings, she went from timid and silent to joining our theatre and sports activities with boys. She’s now a young leader on gender equality in Larache, and we’ll be asking her to come work with us at Mhashass.”
