THE MONTHLY TE HORO COUNTRY MARKET IS ON THIS SUNDAY
Where:- The Te Horo Community Hall
School Road, Te Horo
When:- Sunday 7 August 10am - 1pm
A truly friendly community country market where people gather to chat, browse, score a bargain, taste some goodies and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee with friends in our popup cafe along with some yummy homemade treats.
There’s an impressive range of arts and crafts (Mosaic Mirrors, Scented Candles, Merino Goodies and quilts) natural skincare, produce (Olive Oil, Honey, Preserves etc), Junk For Joy - upcycled and repurposed furniture and homewares, Natural Health Supplements, Bric-a-Brac, books, plants, children's clothing, toys, Jigsaws and lots lots more.
And of course, there is our Seasonal Surplus stall where you can drop off surplus fruit and veges from your garden for sale - we sell it on your behalf and donate our percentage to local causes. Everyone wins and nothing gets wasted! There will be lots of oranges and lemons for your marmalade.
A great country market where you will find cheerful smiles and a lovely bunch of really friendly and hugely talented stallholders.
All are very very welcome - just don’t forget your masks (unless exempt).
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

OCTOBER'S WEATHER IN KĀPITI
This third spring month in Kāpiti was milder and sunnier than average, and for three weeks we also seemed to be heading for a record dry one, but rain here and over most of the country on the last week changed that.
We ended up with 110mm of rain (airport), but this was only 12mm above the historic average for this month that is frequently our wettest. Despite the rain, we had the equivalent of 15.5 sunny days, slightly above average.
Our daily average maximum temperature was 17.8, almost 0.4C above average and 0.7C above last year, and our overall mean temperature was 14.2C, 1.3C above last year, and the warmest in central New Zealand.
November could average around 20C, as it often does, so we can look forward to the possibility of enjoying our first summer month.
