Reposting a couple of my faves this week!

Today's guest is quite simply, a national treasure.

Tammy Wells is someone we all feel like we have a connection with, she is pretty much part of our furniture...and of course the Briscoes furniture too.

Tammy is the woman who, with a big warm smile, delights us with that welcome news that Briscoes is indeed having a sale.

She's been the Briscoes Lady for a remarkable 32 years - and still loves every minute of it.

Oh how delightful this yarn is!

Welcome to Kiwi Yarns - those yarns you have where you sit down, put the kettle on, pour a whiskey or crack open a beer I honestly don‘t mind. Anyway! We‘re sitting down and we’re yarning to some great New Zealanders, their back stories, their front stories, even stories where they went sideways, we will go there. It’s a place where we celebrate the great people of this glorious nation.

Today’s guest is one of the country’s greatest tennis players, Marcus Daniell.
He’s back on the court for his final year before retiring, after two frustrating years out with knee injuries.
Marcus is creating a legacy that will last beyond his playing days, and will reach far more than just the tennis court. This year, he’s donating 50 percent of his prize money to charity - part of his mahi as founder of High Impact Athletes.
A great chat with a professional sportsman who isn't afraid to tell it like it is.

Today’s guest is Man Can Cook - a man, who coincidently, can cook ridiculously delicious food. He does this with his Pug, Fraser.
Daniel Rankin’s cooking videos draw you in because he’s always dressed up or Fraser the pug is always dressed up and there’s food being cooked, and Fraser is so well-behaved but it’s hectic and brilliant and I just had to chat to him. You can follow him on Instagram and TikTok, the vibes are fabulous.
Daniel is also the owner and head coach of a gym here in Tamaki Makaurau.
