This great cookbook of harvest recipes (many of which were mined from our archives) was so much fun to put together. It's free with our September issue, and we'd like to thank our friends at Webstar for making it possible. It helped make our anniversary issue feel so special.

Did you know, 1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives? When they do, let’s make sure they never have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.

To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.
For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.
Don’t forget, this month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (23 - 29 September) and Mental Health Awareness Day on October 10th.
However you choose to take part, feel free to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:

Torbay Plunket are currently having some landscaping work done at the front of the clinic and as part of this we are going to be creating an outdoor play area.
If anyone has a small wooden row boat that they no longer need and would be happy to donate to us, it would be much appreciated.
It does not matter if the boat is damaged, as we are planning on painting it etc. before installing it in the play area.
So please get in touch if you, or anyone you know, may have something that would be suitable.
Thanks for supporting Torbay Plunket!
Hi neighbours, Val Davies from Wainui was shocked to crack open an egg with three yolks inside. She was even more shocked when she learned her chicken had laid a one in 25 million type of egg. An egg-spert said double-yolkers are rare, and triple-yolkers very, very rare.
