Poll: What do you think about this two-way cycleway?

The Team

A new two-way cycleway designed to make it safer for children getting to school has become a daily headache for Blenheim residents. The cycle path, close to three metres wide, along Eltham Rd has come at the expense of many car parks, and residents say getting in and out of their driveways just got a lot trickier.

Have you noticed the new cycleway? What do you think? Do your kids bike to Whitney Street School?

Ron from Fairhall - Renwick - Woodbourne

SharpAs Tool Tips
I’ll be at today’s Marlborough Farmers' Market from 3–6pm — a great last chance to get your knives sharpened before a busy Christmas Day.
If you have knives, tools, or other items that need sharpening, come along to the special Farmers’ Market today.

Please note: aside from the statutory days, I’ll still be open.
Cheers,
Ron

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
