The project, called Kai in the Sky, is the brainchild of 24-year-old Becky Umbers. Staff from local hospitality businesses, which are struggling because of the pandemic, will tend to the gardens and use the produce grown there for free. Would you tend to and use a roof top garden if they were open to the community?

I was at her wedding in January, in Reporoa, NZ.
Her Australian husband returned to the UK to finish up his affairs (of the non-adulterous kind), booked to return to NZ later in March, and resume life as part of our family, and start their own family.
Then along came Covid, and now he is stuck in England and INZ will not allow him to return as he does not have a partnership visa, which Australian partners have never needed before, but now suddenly do. By the time you work out that you need one, you can't get one. There was a time in NZ where being legally married meant something, apparently not anymore.
If you think INZ is being a dick, please consider signing this petition by Oct 4 to support Lauren, our family, and anyone else who may be in this dire situation:

Thank you for listening.
