Hi neighbours. Our beautiful red pōhutukawa trees (or New Zealand's Christmas trees) are just about in full bloom.
However, not all pōhutukawa trees are red. Have you seen any yellow or white pōhutukawa trees in your local area? We'd love to see your photos. Feel free to leave a photo … View moreHi neighbours. Our beautiful red pōhutukawa trees (or New Zealand's Christmas trees) are just about in full bloom.

… View moreCancer survivor Shane Callaghan has walked a harrowing 76.4 kilometres in jandals to raise funds for other cancer sufferers.
The self-described Melahomi Jandal Strutter said his feet were "pretty shot" after the trek but it was a small price to pay to help those suffering from cancer.
One pair of jandals melted into his feet and turned them black as he took on the annual Relay for Life fundraiser over two days.
"My right big toe blistered up badly to the point that I had to cut the side of it open to release the pressure," the 56-year-old said.
"I had a few blisters on my feet. But it's nothing compared to cancer so I don't care about it," he said.
The Te Atatu Peninsula resident raised nearly $3000 for the Cancer Society walking the Jack Lovelock track in Mt Roskill for nine hours and Albany's AUT Millenium Stadium for another gruelling nine hours.
During his weekend quest, he met a young athlete who had lost the lower part of her leg to cancer at 13 and was training for the Tokyo Paralympics next year.
She joined Callaghan for a few laps around the North Shore stadium.
"She was such an inspiration and I enjoyed talking to her," he said.
"I hope she gets to Tokyo and does well. "
Callaghan was diagnosed with critical stage four cancer in 2017 and was given 15 per cent or less of surviving.
"But I refused to give up, " he said.
"Now against the odds after my last scan I'm cancer free."
Callaghan said he thought good healthcare and a positive attitude had helped him to beat the disease.
"I do joke about cancer a lot, probably too much, but I do, " he said.
"For me, I can't feel down or anything because it affects my family.
"Even I might have been going through a couple of hard times but no-one ever knew because I just kept joking around."
Callaghan said he faces surgery on Tuesday to have his appendix and a hernia removed, possibly side effects of the disease.
The Melahomi Jandal Strutter said he was grateful to his wife, family and friends for their support during his cancer journey.

The great thing about one of the bathrooms was that it got plenty of natural sunlight and all the bathrooms had high ceilings. Sarah wanted to add a warm feel to her bathrooms, so she steered away from using a light palette for her bathrooms and use large tiles (to give an impression of an even bigger space) 😌😍
Check out the full case study here:

See what Sarah had to say:
“Whilst the layout of the bathrooms has remained the same some, small changes have increased the functionality of the rooms incredibly. Longer vanities and achieving larger showers have maximised these spaces. It is now too easy to lose track of time whilst showering and being relaxed in these spaces!”

The 2000 horticultural workers from the Pacific will be allowed to enter New Zealand in 2021 under strict conditions, in the first significant opening of the border to foreign workers since the Covid-19 pandemic struck.
Meanwhile, the one-way Trans-Tasman bubble started in October, permitting travellers from New Zealand to arrive in NSW and the Northern Territory without then having to go into managed isolation.

These new arrivals to Tiritiri Matangi Island are now one month old.
The Takahe chicks are growing quickly and thriving.
The feathered friends tend to stick close to the adults or hide under thicker vegetation.
But they are getting braver so some visitors may have the chance to spot them.

Visitors to the wildlife sanctuary north east of Auckland are asked to give the birds plenty of space and to avoid walking between adults and chicks.
