Hand-made Scarves
These scarves have been lovingly made to raise funds for Mission Beyond Borders. All proceeds will go towards buying wool and shipping of the items to Moldova, Romania and the Ukraine. There is great need because of the war in these areas and people are desperate. These scarves can be viewed at my home by ringing 021-057-0371 to make an arrangement to see them. They are all $10 each.
If you can help in other ways such as donating any leftover wool for our group of ladies to knit or crochet into bllankets, jumpers, hats, scarves and gloves, it will be gratefull received.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
