Masport the Goat
Hi All, Some of you will remember Masport the Goat who lived for many many years on West End Road (opposite the tennis club). I've heard that there have been people & some children wondering where he is and if he's still alive. I'm please to say that yes, he is still in fine fettle, now 12 years old (was 3mths old when he came to West End) and living full time up at our farm in Waipu. He's still the adventure goat and has been making a few appearances at the local A&P shows, hiking and bushwalking along with the odd day at the beach too. Masport for a time had another adoptee rescue Wild Beanie (see before and after photo...yes it is the same goat) stay with us at West End while he adjusted from a life on the run at Mt Wellington's Hamlin Hill, learning to trust people and underwent quarantine at West End before everyone moved to the farm. He was in a shocking state but as you can see now is quite the magnificent boy. Wild Beanie is absolutely besotted with Masport and follows him around all day. Since moving up to the farm we have had another 10 critically endangered Arapawa goats join us and they are all living their best life free ranging on 12 acres doing what goats do, play, gobble and just be a goat. So dont worry, Masport is fine and well and may from time to time turn up in Westmere as he continues his work as a Therapy Pet and documents his adventures around New Zealand.

Some Choice News!
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!
