Painters privilege
I have come to understand that the role I have as a tradesman painter is a real privilege. As people trust me to redecorate their rooms, I'm given access to a short window of opportunity in getting to understand their world, their family and how they live. It's a real privilege and one I don't hold lightly. Sometimes it feels as if I'm part of the family, like when this 6-year-old was very keen to help me paint the family ceiling. She did a great job and I'm planning to sign her up for an apprenticeship (in about 12 years time!)

Some Choice News!
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!
