Tonida (Sp?) is from Sumatra and she and her family (many work at the cafe) are delightful. The toasted cheese scones are very good and so is the coffee. It is definitely worth a trip down the road from town to sit outside under the trees having a yarn with the locals. Visit them on Thursday and Friday if you can as they could use more business then. It is a great place to stop if you are cycling the Rimutakas or walking in Kaitoke forest. They are renovating a cottage to take guests and it would be a lovely spot to stay.
The Remutaka Hill Road is totally closed for essential road works from 9pm - 4am until Friday 29 March.
Be prepared for any early/late departures or arrivals you have (from planes or ferries) between Wairarapa and Wellington

First up - The amazing Dee Paranihi!
As a loved employee of the Graeme Dingle Foundation, Dee couldn’t pass up the amazing opportunity to explore Vietnam and help kids across Aotearoa at the same time. "We can all learn to believe what we have inside is greater than the things that stand in front of us, but we need to teach our kids this, we are not necessarily born thinking that way."

Does anyone know who is available to come to our house to split wood from a couple of trees that were cut down? My husband Roy had someone to come by last year, but unfortunately he didn't keep hold of the contact details.
