Many high schools report that vaping is a growing issue despite the 18+ legal smoking age and this has been associated with the proximity of schools to vaping retailers.

Recent amendments have been made to The Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Amendment Act to limit nicotine in products and cease supply to those born in/after 2009. Less retailers are to be approved and product packaging made less appealing.

Until March 15, public submissions will accepted regarding these changes, especially around the location and quantity of retail stores as well as the appeal and addictiveness of smoked tobacco products.

Struggling with poor sleep, irritability, weight gain (especially around the middle) and poor digestion. The best way to get all these things back on track is by doing a cleanse.

Here’s 4 food groups that can start you on the way:

· Go green. Veges such as kale, broccoli, cabbage, watercress and brussel sprouts.

· Spring into sulphur. Cruciferous vegetables, eggs, onions, raw garlic, leaks and spring onion are all excellent sources of sulphur compounds.

· Bitter is better. Excellent bitter foods include rocket, endives, mustard leaf, dandelion greens, kale, turmeric and grapefruit. These foods help to promote natural detoxification by the liver and reduce cravings for sweet foods.

· Antioxidants Fresh fruits and vegetables, and herbs and spices, provide an abundance of natural antioxidants. Some of the highest-rated antioxidant foods include goji berries, blueberries, raw dark chocolate, rosemary, thyme, turmeric. - Holistic Medical Centre

Because of your generosity, our ladies are thrilled to be able to keep on knitting/crocheting/sewing etc. as the needs are great and ongoing. As a result we are constantly needing wool to keep on working. Once again, our grateful thanks. If you have any spare wool in the future, or know anyone who might be willing to donate some to our cause, then please don’t hesitate to ring me and I will collect or arrange collection.

The Call of the Kokako (Picture gift book)

Maria Gill. New Holland Publishers (NZ) Limited, 2011. Hardback, 32 pages. Excellent condition.

A picture gift book produced as a handsome hardback edition with evocative illustrations by talented artist Heather Arnold using watercolour, pen and ink, pencil and acrylic.

Described as 'grey ghosts' because they are seldom seen in New Zealand forests, kokako are known for their incredible song.

This book delves into their world - one preyed upon by predators in a shrinking habitat. It tells the remarkable story of how the kokako, New Zealand's last remaining species of wattlebird, is being saved.

A second part of the book tells a special story - this is the successful quest of one conservationist to save 10 kokako from a forest about to be felled.

Hedge trimming needed

I realised it might be a better idea to see if anyone owns a trimmer and would like to do the job for the $50 I was going to spend renting it. It’s only a few camellia bushes that need a tidy up and figured the money is better in someone’s pocket rather than a big franchise.

Here’s the bushes that need trimming. Ignore the lawns we’re mowing them tomorrow 😂 also open to borrowing someone’s trimmer if they’re happy to lend!

We’re in Saint Andrews (neighbourly hasn’t updated my address.)
