she learned, the more everything<br />
seem to fit into place.<br />
“The people I support and<br />
work with every day give me the<br />
strength and courage to keep<br />
pushing myself to be<br />
better.”<br />
She believes there will<br />
be significant challenges<br />
facing client services<br />
over the next few years.<br />
“There will be more<br />
pressure on care services<br />
due to the volume<br />
of elderly needing care.<br />
I fear residents may<br />
not receive adequate<br />
standards of care and<br />
may feel lonely and neglected due<br />
to low levels of staff.”<br />
“Ongoing education and support<br />
groups can help us move<br />
with the times and set high<br />
standards for new staff coming<br />
into the sector.”<br />

Stock up on fresh cereal<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
ROSE LINDLEY is an unlikely<br />
entrepreneur.<br />
At the age of 63, you might<br />
expect she’d be easing her way<br />
into retirement after a long nursing<br />
career.<br />
Instead, she’s been busy growing<br />
her own breakfast cereal<br />
company, called Mumma Bear,<br />
after a nickname her children<br />
gave her, all the while continuing<br />
to nurse part-time.<br />
Along with selling cereal<br />
from stalls at the Lyttelton and<br />
Christchurch farmers’ markets<br />
over the past three years, Mrs<br />
Lindley has just opened a full<br />
commercial kitchen and shop<br />
on Soleares Ave, along the road<br />
from her and husband Tim’s<br />
house. A trained food scientist,<br />
Mr Lindley helps ensure Mumma<br />
Bear’s recipes are nutritious<br />
and healthy.<br />
Mrs Lindley now cooks 12<br />
batches of her granola, muesli<br />
and porridge from there, instead<br />
of loading up the car and making<br />
a weekly trek out to a commercial<br />
kitchen in Lincoln.<br />
The self-confessed foodie says<br />
the business developed naturally<br />
after a life-time fascination with<br />
food.<br />
“It’s always been a thing in<br />
our family; I used to do courses<br />
teaching bread-making out<br />
in Lincoln. Then, after the<br />
earthquakes, the people I used<br />
to buy hydroponic lettuces off<br />

breakfast food operation, opening a kitchen and shop in Mt<br />

asked if I’d help out selling at<br />
the Mt Pleasant Market. I was at<br />
the very first market day and I<br />
worked there as a volunteer for<br />
the next two-and-a-half years.”<br />
Eventually, juggling nursing<br />
with volunteering at the market<br />
meant making the hard decision<br />
to give it up.<br />
“I loved it. I think it’s in my<br />
bones, there’s a wee bit of Italian<br />
in my background and it comes<br />
out now and then.”<br />
After a while, missing the<br />
market vibe, she looked around<br />
for a product she could sell<br />
and settled on breakfast cereal.<br />

working for a health and fitness<br />
website, Mamma Bear was born.<br />
After starting with two types<br />
of cereal, she’s now up to 12<br />
and is currently working on an<br />
instant porridge for trampers.<br />
Mumma Bear: Food as it<br />
Should Be is the motto. Mrs<br />
Lindley says it sums up what her<br />
products are all about.<br />
The new shop is open every<br />
Wednesday from 10am. Look<br />
for the antique bike parked<br />
outside with a basket of fresh<br />
flowers. Her products can also<br />
