Issue 9 - July 2009 

Winter has turned the corner, we are having glorious sunny days but very cold nights. Thank goodness we are off to Fiji in a week or so to the warm weather. Fiji is a fabulous place for a short break, the people are wonderful and being just three hours flying from New Zealand we are on the same time zone. Mark and I wish to thank you all for the support you have given us I can hardly believe that the coming season will be our tenth year in business. It has been wonderful to see familiar faces return to the villa again this year, we look forward to welcoming many of you again on your next visit to Auckland -till then our thoughts are with you.

Chris and Mark, Lily and Rosy

What we are eating:

At Stafford Villa we have become very very aware of what we are eating and serving to our guests, we try at all times to use organic fruits and vegetables, we only purchase New Zealand made and grown products and offer:.

  • Free range eggs
  • All our pork goods are from Freedom Farms, there are absolutely no crates, no cages, none of those concrete pens and certainly no growth hormones
  • Home grown organic vegetables in season.
  • Homemade in Chris’s kitchen, jams, relish’s, conserves, chutneys and homebaked goods
  • We serve local Birkenhead Honey
Dilmah Tea Party

Visit the Dilmah websiteMark and I were honoured to be invited by Merrill and son Dilhan Fernando who were currently visiting New Zealand on a national tour to mark the 21st anniversary of Dilmah Tea. Merrill J Fernando said: “Today we celebrate my Dilmah’s 21st year with a special Dilmah Tea Party, Tea has been my life for 60 years now, so it is with pride and pleasure we share this double celebration with today’s special guests.”
Merrill believes that no business is possible without the combined efforts, involvement and commitment of workers, staff, clients and consumers. In the case of his tea business, that list of stakeholders includes the environment. The Foundation directly or indirectly has benefited the lives of tens of thousands underprivileged Sri Lankans.
