Ashhurst Artist Open Studio - this weekend
Rural artist Graham Christensen will be opening his studio to the public over the weekend of the 14th and 15th of October as part of the Art Trail Manawatu.
Having spent much of his life farming in and around the region, Graham’s paintings capture rural life and moments in time that make up the rich tapestry of our farming community.
He lives on a farm on Glenburn Road, Ashhurst and paints from a large, light-filled studio – a converted room at the back of the barn.
You can visit Graham as part of the Art Trail, or drop in to his open studio independently on the 14th and 15th of October, 10am – 4pm.
Address: 84 Glenburn Road (turn off Napier Rd, opposite Greenhaugh Gardens). There is good access (no need for gumboots!) and plenty of parking. For more info see www.grahamchristensen.co.nz...

Wanted: Older Female Rabbit to Adopt
I'm looking for an older female rabbit to adopt as a companion for my desexed male Arlo.
He is sweet but a little bit bossy so an ideal companion would be gentle and happy to let him wear the pants, so to speak.
Once bonded they would live their best rabbit lives sharing a large insulated hutch in a 20m x 3m outside enclosure on a lovely peaceful farm in Ashhurst.
His female companion recently passed away and he is really missing having the company of another rabbit.
Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠
If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
